Stone Meadow Closed The permissive footpath that runs through Stone Meadow & the first part of Silsden Meadow is now closed and will reopen at 10am Monday 7th September. This is a safety issue which the committee is obligated to enforce. The Public Footpath that runs through Silsden Meadow, from the A413 to join Riverside Walk near the rear of the church, is unaffected, along with the other section of Silsden Meadow. The Parish Council are aware of this closure.

Support for the draft Local Plan
**DEADLINE IS SUNDAY 6 SEPTEMBER 2026**
Our Ward Councillors, Martin Tett, Carl Jackson and Simon Rouse have stressed how vital it is for as many people as possible to submit their supporting comments on the draft Local Plan (DLP) in order to protect the Green Belt land in Bucks County and particularly around Chalfont St Giles from unscrupulous developers.
Numerous developers and those with interests in undeveloped land will be submitting their opposition to the DLP, calling for more Green Belt land to be included and it is crucial, more than ever, that we as residents submit our support via the Council's website. Our Councillors have drawn up some notes on how to register your support and have indicated that as a minimum, it would be great if you could please support Chapters 4, 5 & 7 of the DLP.
We have attached the Councillors' notes (PDF) and some links below to assist you in reaching the correct pages of the Bucks Council website prior to the deadline of 6 September.
It is advised that for each Chapter, you only use 100 words - you can use more if you wish but you will then be asked to summarise those comments to 100 words.
For each Chapter, it is important that you add the statement that you 'believe the DLP to be both legal and sound' as that is the main purpose of this consultation period and the DLP must be proven to be legal and sound in order for it to be adopted.
Once you have logged in using the OPUS Consult platform, you can access all the DLP Chapters via this link and comment on each Chapter:
Buckinghamshire Council - Draft Local Plan Regulation 19 Document
There is still a 'live' planning application for 62 homes to be built on the Green Belt land behind High View in Chalfont St Giles. Comments can still be submitted regarding this planning application especially in view of the fact that the site has not been included in the DLP as an approved site for development (however, this will not carry any weight in the decision process at this stage as the DLP is not adopted yet) so you would need to submit an objection via the following link in the 'Comments' section:

VACHE BAROQUE SUMMER FESTIVAL 28 August - 6 September 2026 "Huge Fun" The Spectator "witty, risky, and immersive..." ★★★★★ Opera Now
Vache Baroque collaborate with award-winning theatre group Out of Chaos to stage a new semi-opera production of The Tempest. Shakespeare‘s text will flow in harmony alongside 17th-century music and surround-sound live electronics. Performed under a big-top tent with open vistas onto a magical lake, it promises to be an unforgettable day out you’ll be talking about for years to come.
Alongside The Tempest there’s a packed schedule of events at The Vache this summer, including a Water Music concert (not by Handel!), a relaxed family event, SPLASH!, and a Jazz Evening.
Second hand buying, recycling, reselling etc is becoming more and more popular.
There is a new trend happening across the country, where communities come together on the same day and time to sell their unwanted items from the front of their house.
All Together Community is organising one for the village.
We ask for a donation of £5, in return we include your address on the map of people selling. We will advertise far and wide to ensure lots of people visit and buy your items.
You get to de clutter, reduce waste and keep all the money you make.
The event will be on Sunday 6th September 10am-2pm.
I visited an event like this last week it was very busy and over 300 houses took part !
Please let us know as soon as possible if you’d like to take part 😃

A talk by Mike Thorpe a Nutritionist, at our 60+ Fitness & Social Club. This talk last week was very well received. Lots of questions were asked and answered. It was a good reminder that watching what we eat is important. As people get older they just cook the same food regularly and substitute their diat with vitamine tablets. With a variety of different foods there would be no need for suppliments. We were also told about food labelling and what the goverment stratergy is on obesidy We also learned that certain foods can not be obsorbed unless there is the right food combinatiton. A really worth while talk especially for eldery people.
