HS2 Select Committee Decision
While we are deeply disappointed that the Select Committee have not chosen a fully bored tunnel through the Chilterns AONB we are gratified that they did recognise that Wendover deserved some further mitigation. This extension of the green tunnel will help the people living on the southern side of the town. It must also be remembered that we all have the opportunity to ask for more mitigation for Wendover and the AONB in September. See also pages 10, 11 and 32. Statement from POP on 22 July
yourself on our terrace, resplendent with new garden furniture and access to free WiFi. If the children are still not tired, we have intensive swimming courses in the mornings in August. (Please check website for details). If you want to escape the melee, we have asked our volunteers to step up and keep our morning and evening quiet sessions open during the holidays, and we are very grateful to them as we would not be able to operate this great community asset without their help.
The Wendover Swimming Pool
And if you’re wondering where we are with the saga of our takeover of the pool, let us paraphrase that summer holiday staple: “We are nearly there, but not yet,” as Bucks County Council ponder our lease agreement with the John Colet. We hope the Education Funding Authority will approve any subsequent document with the speed and dexterity of a bored child faced with a Don’t forget sunscreen – if it’s sunny, the sweet wrapper. Not the ones in Wendover, roof will be open. You can now also sun however, as they will be busy swimming.
