Hello & welcome! 

Beaconsfield School celebrates 

its 90th Anniversary see p37 

I can’t believe it’s September already where has the 

summer gone? I was delighted to hear from my 

Young Journalists; Josh, Maddie and Loren and news 

of their success in their A levels. I wish them all the 

best in their future endeavours, I see shining lights in 

these young ones! 

At the time of writing this the Country Fayre hadn’t 

yet taken place, but a special mention must go to 

Sylvia Jones who single-handedly drove forward the 

organisation of this charity event and she must be 

commended! 

Please support the Rotary charity event (p17) and 

if you want to volunteer at one of the organisations 

opposite they’d love to hear from you. News from 

the Town Council, (p20,21) and the Neighbourhood 

plan update can be found on p22. 

I wish all the children a happy ‘back to school’ 

and for forthcoming open day see p8 for listing. 

Congratulations to Beaconsfield School on their 

successful 90th Anniversary event. (p37) If you have 

any positive community news please get in contact.

LOCAL BUSINESS 

Making oral hygiene 

more sustainable 

“Oral hygiene: the practice of keeping the 

mouth clean and healthy by brushing and 

flossing to prevent tooth decay and gum 

disease.” (healthofchildren.com) 

This isn’t only essential for our own personal health 

but also for our wellbeing as who doesn’t love that 

minty fresh feeling. However, for so long now the 

only solution for this basic need has been single use 

plastic toothbrushes, toothbrush heads, toothpaste 

and floss. 

Plastic is indeed a practical solution for oral 

hygiene. It’s robust, waterproof, safe to humans 

(in part) and cheaply available. What has however 

been overlooked for too long is its impact on the 

planet – its reliance on fossil fuels to manufacture 

and the fact it is simply not designed to be disposed 

of sustainably. It cannot biodegrade and ultimately 

leaches chemicals into our soils and waters, and 

worse into the atmosphere if incinerated. 

The good news 

is that raised 

awareness of our 

climate crisis and 

ingenious human 

endeavour, has 

resulted in many 

more sustainable 

solutions for 

maintaining 

excellent oral 

hygiene. 

One of the smartest solutions has been to replace 

plastic with another super strong and robust material, 

that not only grows sustainably but is biodegradable 

- the super plant, bamboo. The majority of high 

street shops now sell bamboo toothbrushes and 

bamboo interdental brushes. And for electric 

toothbrush users, recyclable toothbrush heads and 

bamboo alternatives are now available. 

Another seismic change has been the introduction 

of toothpaste tablets to replace toothpaste in tubes 

as we know it. These little tablets do everything that 

toothpaste does but use cleaner ingredients, pack 

a more minty punch and are zero waste coming in 

refillable glass jars. All you do is chew for 3-5 seconds 

and brush as normal. 

Where can you find your eco-friendly oral hygiene 

essentials in one place? 

Eco-Homemaker, an online shopping platform, is 

on a mission to make your life easier when it comes 

to eco-friendly shopping for your family. All of the 

above solutions are available on their website and 

are tried and tested by the local owners and their 

young family.

EYE NEWS 

Time to try 

contact lenses? 

Have you ever wondered about contact 

lenses? During your Eye Test the Optician will 

ask about your sports, hobbies and if anything 

about your vision or eyes is bothering you. 

This is the time to ask about contact lenses. 

You do not need to commit to wearing them every 

day; there is no big financial outlay - you can order as 

few as 30 pairs of daily disposable lenses - ideal if you 

only wear them for a weekly sporting hobby, or social 

gathering. 

Modern contact lenses are much more comfortable, so 

any earlier experiences with them can be discounted. 

There are coloured lenses to change eye colour, 

photochromic lenses for light sensitivity, UV absorbing 

lenses for outdoor sports, lenses to correct astigmatism. 

New multifocal contact lenses mean you can see at all 

distances, (especially good when you need to read 

a menu in a restaurant!) Contact lenses can be very 

convenient, you get all round vision for playing sports 

with no risk of glasses being knocked off. Unlike 

spectacles which need wiping in the rain, they don’t 

steam up by changes in temperature, This makes them 

perfect for walking and gardening. 

There is little or no maintenance. Daily disposable lenses 

are worn once and thrown away. Weekly or monthly 

disposable lenses have just one daily cleaning solution 

and gas-permeable lenses a separate cleaner and 

solution overnight. If you find glasses an inconvenience 

(or are self-conscious wearing them) contact lenses can 

give you the freedom you want. 

Many opticians offer a free trial of contact lenses. Try 

them without financial commitment to see how they feel 

and work for you. If you wish to go ahead there is usually 

an assessment fee and you will require ongoing aftercare 

in the early stages of contact lens wearing. It is advisable 

to have spectacles as well, in case you become tired or 

unwell when contact lenses may not be as convenient. 

Why not ask your optician about contact lenses today? 

You could be up and running (in contact lenses!) in as 

little as 45 minutes.

FINANCIAL NEWS 

Revisiting your 

Inheritance Tax 

strategy 

The latest data from HMRC revealed IHT 

receipts for April 2021 to March 2022 were 

£6.1bn, 14% (0.7bn) higher than in the same 

period 12 months earlier. 

Receipts have increased partly due to higher death 

rates during the pandemic, as well as due to the rise in 

property prices which has seen more families coming 

into scope for IHT. With thresholds frozen at current 

levels, the nil-rate band of up to £500,000 – IHT is 

effectively a stealth tax. 

Below are a few IHT top tips: 

• Gifts – use your £3,000 annual allowance before the 

end of each tax year, or you can make gifts of up to 

£250 per person per tax year. 

• Make a Will – and keep it up to date 

• Leave money to charity – if you leave at least 10% 

of your net estate to charity, the IHT rate reduces from 

40% to 36% 

• Take out life assurance – this won’t reduce your 

estate but instead provides a lump sum to your 

beneficiaries to help pay the IHT bill. The policy 

should be written in trust. 

• Trusts – for example, putting money into a trust to 

pay for a grandchild’s education or to support a range 

of potential beneficiaries. 

• Pension nomination – minor tweaks to where to 

direct the potential death benefits can prevent large 

IHT issues on the estate of the second spouse on 

death. 

• Take advice – sensible IHT planning can help to 

reduce the amount of you IHT your beneficiaries will 

have to pay and safeguard your wealth.

Tech Buddies & 

Tablets for those 

in need 

Who can benefit 

This service is for people in need to 

connect electronically and are at risk 

of social isolation and loneliness in 

Beaconsfield, due to their personal 

circumstances. This service can be accessed 

via referral only such as your GP or faith 

group leader or via our buddy network 

volunteers. 

What We Do 

We loan FOC computer tablets preloaded with 

email, web access etc to help those who would 

benefit by being ‘better connected’ to family 

and friends, join online classes, & access support 

services via email, web, video calls and more. 

How we do it 

Once referred, we contact the person by telephone 

and then two of our Tech Buddies visit, install the 

equipment (computer tablet, docking station/ 

battery charger), and briefly teach them how to use 

it, providing guidance and a daily training plan to 

suit their needs. After this, we provide remote 

support and help as needed. We run drop-in 

sessions at Beaconsfield library for them every 1st 

Wednesday of the month for 1hr too. 

From 11-12noon, we will give some guidance on 

IT issues for other people to have a chat in a group 

session.

What’s been happening 

at Beaconsfield Town 

Council? 

Typically August is a quiet 

time in local councils, which 

gives us a chance to catch 

up on a few things in the 

office. We have two new 

members of staff, Tabish 

Wazir and Helen Walters 

whom we are pleased to 

welcome to the team. 

Even if there are not many 

meetings taking place, we 

are still busy and the Mayor 

has attended many events 

and recently had a very 

interesting meeting with 

Swish Fibre who are keen 

to get involved in some 

community projects in the 

area... something to be 

followed up with our new 

Events Committee! 

The council put forward 

a strong objection to 

the appealed Planning 

Application to build 

hundreds of new homes 

in the green belt adjacent 

to the town and are 

working closely with the 

Beaconsfield Society on 

this. 

Helen Walters 

Tabish Wazir 

The Town Council has 

agreed to contribute 

funding to sort out the 

yellow lines and traffic 

issues in Wattleton Road, 

but it may still take some 

while until this project 

reaches completion. 

Local residents will 

be consulted by 

Buckinghamshire Council. 

On page 22 we have the 

Neighbourhood Plan updates 

and exhibition dates thank 

you for all your help. 

Community Bus 

We would like to re-instate 

the Beaconsfield Community 

Bus and are looking for 

volunteer minibus drivers 

to support this service. This 

is an important service to 

help the elderly and those 

isolated so they can get out 

and mix in the community. 

However, this service is run 

by volunteer drivers, hence 

we are co-ordinating the 

pool of drivers to get this up 

and running again. 

Please see opposite advert 

for all the criteria. Get in 

touch if you are interested. 

And finally, we have moved 

the goalposts! 

But in a good way... new 

goalposts have been 

installed at Wooburn Green 

Lane Sports Field, where we 

continue to work on pitch 

improvement. We have also 

installed new five-a-side 

goalposts at Holtspur Park. 

For more information: www.beaconsfieldtowncouncil.gov.uk

Beaconsfield Town Council continued... 

Neighbourhood plan update 

We have had a huge response to our Questionnaire survey in late 2021 and public 

exhibitions held in March in the 3 hearts of the town. Since then, we have analysed all the 

feedback and suggestions and have prepared our Pre Submission Neighbourhood Plan. 

This September - October we are now consulting on this draft plan and going back to the 

public to seek your views and comments. 

You can view the Pre Submission Neighbourhood Plan document and supporting 

reports on our website or ask to view a printed copy at the Town Council Offices and at 

Beaconsfield Library. We will also be holding public exhibitions again where you are all 

invited to come along and chat to those involved and find out more. 

Public Exhibition dates: 

Thursday 22 September 4-7pm 

Fitzwilliams Centre, Windsor End, Old Town 

Friday 23 September 4-7pm 

St Thomas’ Hall, Mayflower Way, Holtspur 

Saturday 24 September 11-3pm

What is a Neighbourhood Plan? 

A Neighbourhood Plan (NP) puts in place a planning policy for an area. 

It is about the use and development of land and often contains a vision, aims and 

planning policy. It will relate to the settlement area of the community (in our case

Fly-tipping us 

over the edge 

We’re not talking about knocking 

winged insects off their axis… Flytipping 

is illegal dumping of liquid or 

solid waste. It’s an expensive issue 

that can cause serious pollution of 

the environment, a risk to human 

health and harms wildlife. 

So why do people fly tip? Predominantly, 

to avoid disposal costs. Non household 

waste disposal is currently charged in 

Buckinghamshire per 25 litre bag. The 

charges are fairly small however some 

people are going to great lengths to avoid 

them. According to Defra (Department for 

Environment, Food & Rural Affairs) during 

the height of lockdown (2020/21), incidents 

of fly-tipping on public land across England 

‘flew’ to an all-time high with an increase 

of 16%. At this time, around a third of 

workers saw their household income fall. This 

reduction in disposable income combined 

with families stuck at home, saw a spike 

in DIY renovation projects. However not 

everyone decluttered their living spaces 

using the appropriate methods, it seemed 

although people were staying in, bulky 

waste was finding its way out, often left at 

roadsides around our beautiful countryside. 

The cost of clearance to local authorities 

in England in 2020/21 was £11.6 million. 

Money which could have been spent on 

recreational areas for the community. It is 

time to tackle the abandoned trash head on. 

cameras and automatic number-plate 

recognition) to link vehicles to tipping in 

real time. 

However, fly-tipping is not only reserved 

for mattresses, in fact just under (65%) of 

dumping involves small everyday items. 

So what can we do to help? ‘One man’s 

rubbish may be another’s treasure’. Offering 

unwanted items on sites like Facebook’s 

marketplace is a great way to move on 

unwanted goods. With disposable cups 

and cigarette butts being two of the worst 

culprits, the use of reusable bottles and 

sensibly placed ash trays can go a long 

way. Last but not least, education! Educating 

people close about the importance of 

recycling and using bins appropriately 

can have a massive lasting impact on the 

community.

of local groups in every county. We have

As always there were some great cars on 

display including; Jaguar E types, the Bright 

Red Ronalt (based on a Jaguar), a couple of 

Ferraris amongst others, and a collection 

of Motor Bikes. 

Alex Dunlop would like to thank his staff who 

worked with such enthusiasm throughout the 

day. The weather was glorious and the Pimms 

flowed. Alex commented, “We all had a 

great day, and we hope that those who came 

enjoyed it too”. He added, “A big thank 

you to the local companies that generously

When can I 

afford to retire? 

You may have an idea about the type 

of lifestyle you want, but knowing if 

your expenditure will be sustainable is 

not straightforward. 

In terms of budgeting, inflation is a big factor 

over 20 to 30 years, and it’s easy to overlook 

capital expenses like replacing cars or home 

refurbishments. 

The investment strategies in our pensions are 

vital in determining the potential sustainability 

of our income. Yet, these are often ignored by 

many savers. 

The order in which we draw from our assets 

in retirement, and the use of available tax 

allowances, can also play a significant factor 

in our money’s longevity, but these are not 

simple matters. 

Ben Walter, CEO at Walter & Partners, 

comments, “Planning for retirement has never 

been so important, with people living longer 

and more active lives. We help our clients map 

out their retirement budgets, recommend 

appropriate investment strategies, and advise 

on drawing from their assets in a tax-efficient 

way. This ongoing process provides clarity, 

direction, and peace of mind when planning 

for, and living in retirement”.

LEGAL ADVICE 

Parental Alienation 

As family lawyers we hear this term used increasingly 

between parents but there is still no one agreed 

‘definition’ of parental alienation, potentially resulting 

in confusion and misuse of the term. CAFCASS, the 

Children & Family Court Advisory & Support Service, 

define it as the unjustified resistance or hostility from 

a child towards one parent as a result of psychological 

manipulation by the other parent. 

This can be a worrying time for the non-resident parent as it 

can often be gradual so as not to raise alarm bells. Specialist 

legal advice should be sought at the earliest opportunity if you 

believe your child is at risk of parental alienation. It is helpful to 

keep a record of occasions where you think examples of this 

behaviour have occurred, and to reflect on those occasions to 

see if there is a pattern – is it becoming more frequent or more 

severe? Information can then be used in any court application 

which becomes necessary. 

Parental alienation covers a spectrum of behaviours. These 

may include badmouthing the other parent, limiting contact, 

forbidding the child from speaking about the other parent, or 

trying to manipulate the child into believing negative things 

about the other parent, often causing untold damage to the 

relationship with that parent and long-lasting emotional and 

psychological impact on the child. 

Parental alienation is best understood as a ‘campaign’ of 

behaviour leading a child to become resistant to, or entirely 

refuse, contact with the other parent. Initially there may be low 

level barriers for the non-resident parent, e.g. not being kept 

up to date regarding progress at school, not being involved 

in medical appointments, or the child not making a contact 

session because of a friend’s party, and then progression into a 

concerted campaign of denigration. The child is encouraged to 

disparage the other parent, or agree with the resident 

parent’s negative statements about the non-resident parent, and 

is often rewarded under the guise of ‘sharing their feelings’. 

RS_BEACS_AM_CHAL_CMYK_130X90_OUT_1.pdf 1 04/10/2021 11:44 

If Court proceedings are necessary, your solicitor can make 

an application on your behalf to obtain a Child Arrangements 

Order, detailing the time the child is to spend with each 

parent. An order will only be made if the Court considers it 

is in the best interest of the child. 

Given that the ultimate outcome can result in children not 

seeing a parent, it is essential that everyone involved fully 

understands the implications of making such an allegation and 

how to respond as this can be instrumental in dealing with this 

issue and restoring a more functional co-parenting relationship 

between parties. 

If you are affected by any of the issues raised in this article, 

our team of solicitors at our Beaconsfield office are very 

experienced in dealing with children matters and parental 

alienation, and can provide you with support and expert 

legal advice.

WHY THERMOGRAPHY IS THE ‘W 

FOR REDUCING HE 

and improving the quality and efficiency of insulation methods as 

part of the conservation of traditional, older and ancient buildings 

by Robert Tiffin, Eco Tiffin Ltd 

It might not seem entirely intuitive to consider the 

use of modern technology when working with 

traditional and ancient buildings. However, building 

conservation should make use of all the knowledge, 

skills and disciplines at its disposal and it would be 

a big mistake to dismiss thermography, especially 

now, with energy costs predicted to be capped at 

£2,800 a year for the average home by October 

2022. 

Thermography is the use of thermal infrared 

imaging to identify heat loss contributing building 

defects such as dampness and its sources. It is 

a non-destructive technique that is ideal when 

working with older, complex buildings that have so 

many elements to them. Indeed, it is impossible to 

make a full and accurate assessment of their state 

of repair without recourse thermography in the 

hands of a seasoned building professional. 

A condition survey incorporating an analysis of 

all heat loss areas, building defects and drafts in 

relation to the current or proposed use of any building 

is a prerequisite for the correct identification and 

specification of any insulation (retrofit) works needed, 

well before their approval and commencement. 

Identifying the exact type of structure and its fabric 

enables us to determine its thermal envelope, how 

good or bad it is at retaining the warm air that is so 

expensive to heat, and therefore form a strategy on 

how best to reduce it. 

More than any other technology, the thermal 

images shown here shows the interplay of moisture, 

heat and ventilation continuously unfolding in any 

building. It allows us to better understand/see what 

is going on, explain it and make better informed 

decisions when prioritising the allocation of everlimited 

resources. Which means we should be 

thinking of thermography as a sixth sense that we 

are very lucky to have. 

Because of the highly visual, immediate 

nature of the thermal survey, it offers a relatively 

inexpensive and non-invasive way of helping 

clients and other stakeholders understand the 

significance of heat loss and potential problems

that might otherwise be difficult to conceptualise. 

Among many others, these can include:

Cold bridging

Air leakage/infiltration 

Electrical, plumbing, heating, cooling and

Damp and decay 

Moisture and air circulation 

Cleaning interventions 

Plaster and finishes delamination 

Blockages in flues and rainwater goods 

Quality of workmanship and material 

Having identified heat loss, bypass, drafts 

and defects, thermography can then be used to 

suggest solutions and highlight the advantages of 

taking action, among them: 

Demonstrating the improvements of a retrofit 

programme 

Substantiating insurance claims

using other auxiliary data is obviously crucial for 

correct interpretation. This is why we at Eco Tiffin 

have been investing in thermal imaging equipment 

and infrared training for all our staff. This enhances 

our extensive CPD training in retrofitting older 

buildings and qualifying as retrofit coordinators 

for more than two decades now. We are firm 

believers in the ‘fabric first’ approach to building

Safe & gentle ear wax 

removal at a clinic 

near you 

What is ear wax? 

What is it, why do we have it in our ears and why does it sometimes cause hearing loss. Earwax, also known 

as cerumen, is produced inside your ears to keep them clean and free of germs. It usually passes out of the 

ears harmlessly, but sometimes too much can build up and block the ears. 

It protects the skin of the human ear canal, assists in cleaning and lubrication, and also provides some 

protection from bacteria, fungi, insects and water. In other words, ear wax is a good thing! 

The amount of ear wax that the body produces differs from person to person, the amount that is retained 

within the ear also differs for each of us - these differences are for a number of reasons; Age; Diet; Lifestyle; 

Personal anatomy; Genetics; Ethnicity. 

Many people will produce a small amount of wax their whole lives, which leaves the ear canal naturally, and 

never have any problem with it. For others, their ear will produce a larger amount of wax, which will not 

fully leave the ear canal and will become blocked, which leads to them having reduced hearing ability and also 

a blocked feeling in the ear. 

Are you experiencing any of the following? 

• Pressure in the ears 

• Blocked feeling in the ears 

• Need to pop your ears but can’t 

• Sudden loss of hearing or muffles sound 

• Hearing aids whistling 

• Underperforming hearing aids

Beaconsfield School 

celebrate 90 years! 

The Beaconsfield School celebrated 90 

years at the current Wattleton Road site 

on 9th July 2022 with an event at the 

school to celebrate our heritage and 

display the achievements of the current 

students with alumni, parents and 

sponsors. 

250 alumni and other members of the 

community came to watch a performance 

from our students and other local schools. 

Suzanne Shaw (of Hearsay) hosted the event 

to support her son who attends the school 

and performed some of her songs for us. 

Cordelia Wright in 1913 

We also 

had a huge 

exhibition of 

photographs 

and 

documents 

from as 

far back as 

1854 as well as a ‘History of the Beaconsfield 

School’ book which has been written by an 

ex-teacher of the school. It was a great 

opportunity for ex-students and teachers 

to meet up with old friends and colleagues 

and there were a few tears as people came 

together for the first time in years. 

We would like to profoundly thank our 

sponsors Shanly Homes, Roland Callingham 

Foundation, BOSCS and especially The 

National Lottery for helping us to fund this 

wonderful event.
