Wendover Parish Council – Matters Arising, August 2022
View from the Chair
At the moment, the sun is shining and another beautiful day is forecast, so here is the Summer! The July WPC meeting was held at the MS Centre in Princess Mary Gate, and it was good to see a number of PMG residents taking part in the public participation section.
The Council has a few initiatives still in progress at time of writing: the Parking review statutory consultation and the new Haddington play park (formerly known as the Helicopter Park).
The Parking review date is not confirmed yet but should be running by the end of July. Every resident in Wendover is eligible to comment on any aspect and we will look at the results in the Autumn. Please note that any other roads cannot be added at this late stage in this consultation.
The Haddington Park planning application has been posted on the BC planning portal (22/01987/APP) with no decision by Bucks Council at time of writing. Again, if it is still live on the portal, please take a look at the plans and make a comment.
The repair of the canal path is holding up well, with new vegetation on the edge helping to support the structure, but the complete refurbishment is still with the Canal and River Trust for scheduling.
Bucks Council has a new Town and Parish Charter which will also be published shortly, which details the responsibilities of the various authorities, Unitary, Town and Parish.
That’s all for now and I do hope you have a great holiday season, enjoy!

Anti-Social Behaviour
Wendover Parish Council would like to remind residents the importance of reporting incidents of vandalism, noise nuisances and anti-social behaviour immediately to Thames Valley Police on 101, online through their website https://www.thamesvalley.police.uk or by emailing WendoverNHPT@thamesvalley.pnn.police.uk.
If dangerous or life threatening, please call 999.
It is important that incidents are reported in order for our local police to build a picture of what is happening in our local area and use their available manpower accordingly.
Annual Quiz
Wendover Parish Council are organising the popular Annual Quiz again this year and are looking for teams of 3 to enter. The quiz is free of charge and will be held at the Wendover Bowls Club at 7.30 pm on Thursday evenings over 7 weeks in October and November. You will not be required to attend every quiz evening, just on the evenings your team is scheduled to play, and of course, it all depends on how many rounds your team makes it through!
Not only is this event great fun to take part in and watch, but it is also a good opportunity to meet other local people. For more information or to download an application form please visit https://www.wendover-pc.gov.uk/annual-quiz. Submissions close on 1 September 2022.
