Bus Survey
Bucks County Council are seeking responses to their survey on council-supported rural buses. It is a fairly simple survey as to how often and when and what time of day you travel on the bus and for what reason. The survey can be found on their website www.buckscc.gov.uk/bussurvey. There are also paper versions available. The bus through our village to Aylesbury and Thame is of vital importance to a few people in the village who are unable to drive and I think a strong response to this survey is vital to show that it is needed in our village. The service needs ongoing financial support from the County Council and it is not difficult to see that possibly reducing the service we have would be a way of saving money. I have some paper copies, so please let me know if you would like one. The closing date for the survey is July 20th. All comments will be reviewed this Summer and a consultation will be carried out later in 2018 on any proposed changes.

Scarecrows in Chearsley
For the first time and to celebrate the first Village Show in the new hall, there will be a Scarecrow Parade on Saturday September 1st in the village hall. You might have already followed the Scarecrow trail in Haddenham which ends on Sunday and have a few ideas of a scarecrow you and your family could make. This is a great idea to join in with the Show if growing plants or vegetables is not what you like to do. There are also opportunities to show off skills in baking, flower arranging, painting,craftwork, photography and many categories for children. Another wonderful village day, not to be missed, coming in September.
Plastic bags in food recycling caddies.
Did you know that Bucks County Council are now able to accept plastic bags for food waste as well as newspaper and compostable liners. Acceptable bags are supermarket plastic bags, bags bought on a roll, eg pedal bin liners, thin plastic fridge and freezer storage bags and bread and salad bags. The bags are all separated from the food when it is delivered to the anaerobic digestion plant and the food waste is then processed, creating renewable electricity and at the end of the process, the digested food waste gets spread to land as a nutrition-rich fertiliser.
