New Year’s Eve Celebrations Although the Parish Council appreciates that it cannot prevent residents congregating outside the Clock Tower on New Year’s Eve. I would like to remind you all of the risks involved with such a large number of people collecting next to main roads, with people bringing glass with them (bottles and drinking glasses) and letting off fireworks. Be aware that it is an offence under section 80 of the Explosives Act 1875 to set off fireworks without a license in any highway or public place as this is a very dangerous thing to do. If you are found guilty of doing so you may have to pay a fine of up to £5,000. Penalty notices for disorder (onthe-spot fines) can also be issued by the Police for this offence. I’m sure no one would like to start off their 2014 by paying such a hefty fine.

Any resident coming to the Clock Tower on New Year’s Eve does so completely at their own risk. The event also sadly results in a great deal of unsightly and dangerous litter on and around the High Street, Aylesbury Road and Tring Road. The Parish Council is hoping to mobilise volunteers to clean up on 1 January as it did last year and wishes to offer thanks to all of you who volunteer your time and support in advance. If you would like to volunteer to help with the clean-up please contact the Clock Tower. Charlotte Hewes Clerk to Wendover Parish Council
