WELCOME...<br />
...to the <strong>April</strong> / May 20<strong>18</strong> edition of <strong>VV</strong>...<br />
The arrival of Spring in P&TG is very welcome<br />
after what seems to have been a long and cold<br />
winter. Penn and Tylers Green seems to me to<br />
be at its best in Spring, as the winter gloom is<br />
lifted by the arrival of spring flowers, then our<br />
woods and green spaces are transformed into<br />
our familiar and uplifting green landscape.<br />
Change is all around. In this edition of <strong>VV</strong> we<br />
have updates on the Gomm Valley development<br />
plans, the plans under consideration to create a<br />
unitary authority in Bucks, the sad news, that at<br />
the heart of the village, the Cottage Bookshop,<br />
is to close, and the Red Lion is up for sale<br />
Upcoming, over the next few months, the<br />
village will host a variety of events, which are<br />
familiar and anticipated. Over the May Day<br />
weekend, the P&TGFC will host their annual<br />
Football Festival. On May 11th, the P&TG<br />
Residents Society will host its AGM & Social,<br />
both great opportunities to reconnect to our<br />
village community<br />
These well respected and popular Village<br />
organisations, feature significantly in this<br />
edition of <strong>VV</strong>, both organistions have set out<br />
their position on the FC's floodlight planning<br />
application. I would encourage readers of <strong>VV</strong> to<br />
read the various articles, and formulate your<br />
own opinion. Remember that both organisations<br />
are dedicated to our community, and do a huge<br />
amount of great work in and for the village.<br />

Correction<br />
In our last edition of <strong>VV</strong>, on Page 29 'In<br />
Memory' of Derrick Hughes, we reported that<br />
Derrick lived until he was 97, when he was in<br />
fact 98, and spelt Derrick's name incorrectly. We<br />
sincerely apologise for these errors.<br />
