P&TGRS and P&TG Together
- An Update
Dear Residents and VV readers,
Unbelievably it has been 6 months since the
Covid19 lockdown started, and Penn & Tylers
Green Together was created.
P&TG Together would like to take this
opportunity thank all our co-ordinators,
volunteers and the residents of Penn & Tylers
Green for their support during this time.
We are having a bit of a rest at the moment as
the needs seem to have diminished - but
depending on how things progress during the
autumn and winter - could well change.
In the early days of lockdown we undertook
deliveries, sought out neighbours who needed
support as well as Village Care helping with the
collection and deliver of prescriptions.
As time progressed we got involved with the
admirable collection of food donations for One
Can in High Wycombe. We collected an
amazing volume of goods, amounting to over
20 carloads!! And this continues with donations
being made the local shops. We are very proud
of our collective effort.
We have recently moved into a new phase
– and are now restricted to the ‘Rule of 6’ in the
Covid19 pandemic. As we learn to cope with
the new Rule of 6, we are writing to ask
everyone for a different type of support in
looking after the village and woodlands that we
so treasure.
We have recently seen a spate of bonfires in

Village Voice October/November 2020
Commonwood and revellers enjoying
themselves, which isn’t the problem. It’s the
mess they leave, tables, chairs, bottles, broken
glass, picnic debris as well as smouldering
bonfires. With the recent hot weather we have
had fires that required assistance from the fire
brigade.
We would like to ask everyone for your
support and to encourage you, if you feel able,
and are visiting the woods, to remind these
visitors to clear up after themselves? Take home
all their rubbish and leave the woods as they
would like to find them? The Countryside Code
gives some sensible advice that we would like
everyone to consider:
• Respect other people
• Consider the local community and other
people enjoying the outdoors
• Park carefully so access to gateways and
driveways is clear
• Leave gates and property as you find them
• Follow paths but give way to others where
it’s narrow
• Protect the natural environment
• Leave no trace of your visit, take all your litter
home
• Don’t have BBQs or fires
• Keep dogs under effective control
• Dog poo - bag it and bin it
• Enjoy the outdoors
• Plan ahead, check what facilities are open, be
prepared
• Follow advice and local signs and obey social
distancing measures
Then as we look further ahead to Christmas,
we can’t predict where we’ll be with restrictions
related to Covid19, but we can think ahead to
planning festive activities which are different
from previous years, but still bring a smile to
your face!
P&TGRS working with P&TG Together are
in the early stages of planning a virtual 12 days
of Christmas Calendar of activities that we hope
will be able to help with. At this stage we are
particularly interested in any ideas you may
have. We have thoughts and ideas which could
include a virtual Christmas tree competition, a
