Wendover Celebrates
If you’re not already involved in Wendover Celebrates, which has a Wild West Theme this year, then make sure you are lining the streets - Aylesbury Road, High Street and Pound Street - to watch the Parade go by between about 12 noon and 1pm on Sunday 1 May.

Police Station Closure 1st May
The main event (free entry) is on the field of the Chiltern Way School, Wendover Campus, pedestrian entrance in Church Lane, HP22 6NL. For more details see centre pages and for full details buy a programme, only £1. The Headline act for the evening will be DavidLive, a Bowie tribute band, www. davidbowietribute.co.uk/#davidlive. With David Bowie’s links to Aylesbury it is a fitting celebration of the great musician’s career. Chris Evans (BBC Radio 2) called them “Fantastic!”. Pre-order tickets from wendovercelebrates.com
Inspector Chris Young, who took up his position as Rural Neighbourhood Inspector in D e c e m b e r, confirmed that the Aylesbury Road Police Station would close in the new financial year. With people using other means to make contact with the Police, the Station now has very few visitors. Neighbourhood Teams would be based in Aylesbury with a car and an officer dedicated to Wendover. Emergency calls are already dealt with from Aylesbury. There will be no change in the level of policing being provided and it is hoped to find venues for drop-in sessions locally.
