Protect St Giles Greenbelt
Outline Planning Application - 20 Narcot Lane ref PL/25/6650/OA
Yet another application is threatening CSG's greenbelt. We have had an application further along Narcot Lane followed by Highview and now this. A similar application was made on this site and rejected back in 2019. The new application is for a reduced number of dwellings (20), but this would still have a detrimental impact on local infrastructure such as health, social care and education to say nothing of the additional traffic, particularly during construction, on our narrow roads. If any of these applications get the go ahead it will only set a negative precedent and before long our peaceful village and green open spaces will be subsumed by urban sprawl. Please make your comments known to Buckinghamshire Planning by 23 February

Even with renewable energy, a lottery ticket will help us
Running the 102-year-old Memorial Hall is an expensive business with fixed annual costs of more than £20,000. This year, in addition to our usual maintenance, we have to replace the gas heating boiler for the entrance foyer, carry out extensive tree work, repair a redundant chimney stack and fix potholes in Milton Fields.
We are also installing a solar panel and battery system, thanks to grants from the National Lottery and the HS2 Community and Environment Fund. But even with some renewable energy, we cannot do it without you. We hope you will buy a lottery ticket and we thank you in anticipation.
At least two prizes of £50 guaranteed in our first draw on March 25th 2026
The monthly lottery costs £12 for the year. That works out at a mere 3.2p a day, with the chance of winning a cash prize every month. Once again we'll be giving away around 20% of the pot. Last year we sold 345 tickets and awarded 61 prizes totalling £1,062. In any case, we guarantee two prizes of £50 in our first draw on March 25th 2026. We'd like to give away even more. And we can if more people play.

The Trustees of Chalfont St Giles Memorial Hall are delighted to announce that, thanks to two generous grants, they can proceed with their plan to install solar panels and battery storage as part of their long-term sustainability initiative.
Trustees have received a £30,000 grant from HS2’s Community Environment Fund and £20,000 from the National Lottery Community Fund, which together cover the full costs of installation and associated works to enable this project to go ahead in late March.
The Trustees are very grateful to HS2 and the National Lottery for helping them to make the hall more sustainable, and assuring its future as an important community venue for the people of Chalfont St Giles. A low carbon air source heat pump system is already installed but electricity bills remain a significant drain on resources. With solar panels and batteries, the Hall can substantially reduce both its carbon footprint and energy costs.
The Hall has commissioned Kimble Solar, based in High Wycombe, to install the system.

The Friends of Milton's Cottage are delighted to invite you to this year's Annual Milton Lecture, which will take place at Mercers' Hall on Monday 16 February from 6pm GMT.
Our guest lecturer is Professor Nicholas McDowell, of the University of Exeter, who will explore Milton's relevance for the information age in Lessons in Free Speech from John Milton. As well as being a great poet, Milton was a prose writer of distinction, and the questions he raised on social, political and press freedoms, in pamphlets such as Areopagitica, feel more urgent than ever.
Lessons in Free Speech from will be delivered as a hybrid lecture to a live audience in the atmospheric Mercers' Hall - home to one of the world's oldest livery company - where the ticket price includes drinks and canapes after the lecture. For those unable to be with us in person, we hope you can join us virtually via Zoom.
Tickets cost £30 in-person (£10 for students) and £10 via Zoom (£5 for students) with all proceeds supporting Milton's Cottage - Milton's only surviving residence, and the place where he completed his epic masterpiece Paradise Lost.
