Diamond Jubilee

As you know the Queen celebrates her Diamond Jubilee in 2012. As with the Golden Jubilee, there is going to be a public holiday, and it would be good to have a real celebration in Mursley. The Parish Council are supporting these celebrations and are keen to get anyone interested, and with some great ideas, together with other like minded Parishioners, to ensure that we 'push the boat out'. Street parties anyone?
Please contact one of the Councillors if you are interested in becoming involved in anyway.
Lets make it a good one!

Road Potholes

Following a chase by our Parish Council, below is the response received from David Hedley, the local area technician at Bucks Highways,
"due to the severe volume of potholes that require repair, we currently have to concentrate pothole repairs on A and B classified road. The work was ordered yesterday, there may be a slight delay before our crews are able to get to this area, but they will hopefully be available by the end of this week to repair these potholes"
We understand that the only classified section of road near the village is the stretch between Stewkley and Swanbourne.

Happy New Year

Well, the big freeze hits us tonight/tomorrow, so more disruptions to look forward to, and certainly some of the coldest January temperatures in recent years. It was, of course, a cold winter last year, some of the plants that have survived our winters in recent years were lost last year - good thing we didn't replace them!
Lots to look forward to though, not the least lengthening days.
All the best for 2010.

Have a good Christmas!

Sleepy little village like ours, not much to report by way of change, although scratch the surface, and there is lots going on. The Village Design Statement is the next big thing to be published on the web site, hopefully in January, the team are working on the final amendments as we speak - see the VDS section of the Parish Plan site for details. The Forum is up and working, and support is building slowly but surely, items for sale anyone? We had our first entry in that section yesterday.
Carol singing on Saturday at the pub, evening carol service on Sunday at the Church, and snow to boot - what more could we want. Let us hope for a great 2010.
Happy Christmas everyone.

Great News!
We understand from the web designer that the new village web site will go live on 30th April, yes that's 2009 folks, watch this space....
Many of you are concerned about the revised plans for the former 'Greenways' project, now known as the proposed Winslow Green Development, and the Parish Council held an open meeting on this on 26th January, not many of you attended this meeting, so you may want to voice your concerns to the PC direct, if you need more detail, then visit the Aylesbury Vale planning web site http://eplanning.aylesburyvaledc.gov.uk/tdc/tdc_home.aspx you need the detail of the application, which is 08/02944/AOP in the parish and ward of Great Horwood. You might also be interested in looking at the web site which has been set up by opponents of the scheme, which you can find on http://www.stopwinslowgreen.co.uk/
We would also like to tell you that Village Information packs are now available, with general information on village organisations etc. of particular interest to anyone new to the village. If you know of anyone in this position, please get in touch with us, and we will see that they receive one of these packs, together with a copy of the Parish Plan.

We had hoped that the new web site would be up and running by this time, but delays beyond our control have put back the proposed publication date to probably the new year, although we have been promised an initial viewing in November, watch this space! Meanwhile, things have been happening on the Village Design Statement front - check out the Focus Group page for details. Once the new Parish web site is published, this web site will be incorporated within it and fazed out from its current web site address, but we propose to keep it running in this interim period to let you know of any developments.
