A purse has been stolen from a shopper's handbag, whilst shopping in the Broadfields area of Aylesbury on the 27 November, between 2pm and 2:15pm. The purse contained cash that the owner had just taken out of a nearby cashpoint.
At this time of year it is worthwhile reminding all your watch members to be vigilant with their personal belongings whilst out shopping. Make sure that purses are kept out of sight and that handbags are closed and secure - avoiding the possibility of someone 'dipping' into them. Don't keep wallets and mobile phones in back pockets where they could be easily accessible to a potential criminal.
When using cashpoints, be aware of who is around you or if anyone appears to be paying attention to the area around cashpoints. If you spot anyone suspicious, call the Police and alert bank / shop staff.

Parish Council Meeting
Monday 24th November
Some matters arising from this meeting :
Public Time. The Millennium Field was discussed with regards to money spent on it, how much it was used and its poor condition, possibly with some broken glass. It was agreed that the Parish Council should arrange a site meeting to inspect the field.
Chuf were thanked and commended for the wreath they had provided for the Remembrance Sunday service.
Unclaimed land by the phone box was discussed. There has been a change in legislation recently which has slowed progress as to establishing the ownership of this land. It was agreed that the Parish Council would apply for a search for ownership.
There had been no planning applications . A complaint raised with AVDC by a resident concerning building works in Needlemakers had been rejected by AVDC , on the grounds that the works were not substantial enough to require permission.
The question of speed traps in the village was brought up with the local Community Police Officer but as resources are limited, it is unlikely that this request will be granted.
The next meeting will be on December 8th – the Annual Budget meeting.
The next full meeting will be on Monday January, 12th.
Christmas Sale

A sale in aid of Florence Nightingale Hospice is being held in Chearsley Village Hall on this day from 11 until 2pm. Come along and buy cakes, gifts, Christmas puddings, marmalades, pickles, etc. There will be a raffle and refreshments.
Mobile Library
This is next in the village on Monday 8th at The Bell Car Park at its new time of 1.10 to 1.35

If you know you will need extra milk, bread, eggs, etc. over the Christmas period, why not place an order now. Christmas meals are also available for parties of 4 or more for £15 each.

It was a great shock to learn of the death of Katy Spencer Bernard recently. She had suffered ill health for many years.

Recycling collections
Tuesday 18th November is the next collection date for glass, plastics, paper and cans. Remember these are collected early on Tuesday morning, so it is advised to put them out on Monday evening.
Compensation for interruption of electricity supply in the Summer
It has been brought to my attention that there have been several successful applications to EDF for compensation when certain parts of the village were without electricity, and when a generator had to be supplied during June and July this year. If you would like any more information about claiming from EDF, albeit only a fairly modest compensation, please get in touch with me.
