Chalfont St. Peter

 


 

Added 16th April

We’re on the lookout for a creative volunteer to run children’s craft sessions at Chalfont St Peter Community Library during the school holidays.

It doesn’t have to be fancy — just something fun for kids to enjoy! Whether it's painting, card-making, crochet, knitting, colouring or any other crafty idea, we’re open to what you love doing.

We were thinking of a weekly session, but it’s entirely up to you — whatever time you can give would be wonderful.

👉 If you're interested or know someone who might be, please email us at enquiries@csp-communitylibrary.co.uk or pop in and have a chat with one of our lovely volunteers!

CANCELLED! Dumbbell monthly quiz night

Unfortunately, the Monthly Quiz at the Dumbbell has been cancelled on the 9th April and it is unlikely to continue. I did try to get a couple of the other village pubs who don't currently run quizzes interested so I will update if and when I have details of dates and venue details. Thanks to anyone who read the post and came along. It was fun doing it.

Regards Trevor

 


 

Young Reporter?

I had the following emailed to me... Happy to include it. Ed.

My name is Rio, and I am currently in Year 6 working on a school project about community news and local events. As part of the project, I have researched recent developments and upcoming activities in Chalfont St Peter and would love to share them with your readers.


🏘️ Proposed Housing Development
There is a plan to build 975 new homes, a primary school, and shops on the Green Belt grounds of the National Epilepsy Centre in Chalfont St Peter. This proposal will be reviewed at a Government planning inquiry in August and has raised concerns from local residents about its impact on the village.

🗳️ Parish Council Elections
On May 1, 2025, residents can vote for 15 Parish Councillors and 2 Buckinghamshire Councillors. This is an important opportunity to have a say in our local leadership.

🚨 Police Priorities
As of April, burglary has become a top priority in the Chalfonts. Local police have increased high-visibility patrols in affected areas.

🚲 Chalfont Cycle Jumble
Taking place on Saturday, April 12, 2025, at the Epilepsy Society grounds on Chesham Lane, this event is one of the UK's largest cycle jumbles, opening to the public at 9:00 AM (£2 entry).

🌸 Spring Wreath Workshop
Mother Rugger is hosting a wreath-making workshop on Sunday, April 13, 2025, at 2:00 PM. Tickets from £45.

📅 Annual Parish Meeting
Scheduled for May 22, 2025, at 7:30 PM, this meeting is a great way for residents to connect with local representatives.

🎉 Feast Day
Feast Day is set for June 28, 2025, on Gold Hill Common, featuring performances, a Punch and Judy show, a dog show, classic cars, live music, and fun for families.

🎬 Library Film Screenings
Chalfont St Peter Community Library is showing Easter Parade on April 14 at 2:30 PM and Mrs. Henderson Presents at 7:30 PM. Free entry, donations welcome.

I hope this collection of local news and events helps bring our community closer together. Thank you for your time and for everything you do to keep residents informed!
