Chairman – Chepping Wycombe Parish Council
Penn Parish Council
Penn Parish Council has written to express its
deep alarm and concern with the implications of
the wholesale changes to the planning system
proposed by the government's white paper:
Planning for the Future. This proposal, in our
view, allows central Government to take full
control of the planning system and to impose
massive development requirements on local
plans without adequate consideration of, or
funding for, the physical and social
infrastructure to accommodate it. Local
government, parish councils and local
communities will be helpless in resisting what,
for areas like this, will be a torrent of house
building. If you share our worries about this,
please be sure to make your views known to
anyone who can influence government thinking.

Tylers Green First School seeking

Board of Governors
Are you inquisitive, enthusiastic and energetic?
Do you like making a positive difference? Are
you creative and full of ideas? If yes, then we
need you!
TG First School is seeking new members for
its Board of Governors to replace those who are
reaching the end of their term of office.
Becoming a governor can bring you great
personal and professional benefits and can be a
valuable addition to your CV. Training is
provided and the learnings are transferable to
other areas of life. You have the opportunity to
gain a variety of new skills and develop the ones
you already have. We are looking for people
from all backgrounds who can bring their
professional knowledge and/or personal
experience to the school. You would need to
commit to:
• Attending at least three full governing board
meetings per school year (60-90 mins each)
• A four-year term of office
• Joining sub-committees who meet four to six
times per school year (60-90 mins each)
Whether you are a current or potential future
parent at the school looking to influence the
school’s continuous improvement for the benefit
of your child, or a member of the local village
looking to make a contribution to the
community, we want to hear from you. Please
contact us at office@tgfs.org.uk.To find out

Litter Picking in the Villages
We had a wonderful turn out of 25 villagers on
Sunday 27th September which meant that we
had sufficient volunteers to be able to pick all of
the litter from Common Wood Lane, Gravelly
Way, Crown Lane, Noaks Lane, Church Road,
top half of Hammersley Lane and the fields
behind the tennis/football club.
Those roads and areas produced about 100
bags of litter, a bed and mattress, huge number
of bags of dog poo (why does anyone think that
this is acceptable?) and a variety of odd objects.
