Local Council Elections 6th May 2021

/in /by

MAKE A CHANGE BECOME A COUNCILLOR

The National Association of Local Councils (NALC) is calling on all community heroes to step up and become a local (parish and town) councillor at the 2021 elections.

What do councillors do?

Local councillors are the champions of their community who invest time in local projects and issues to the benefit of residents and the neighbourhood. Councillors attend to local needs of residents, local groups and businesses, make decisions on local services, collaborate with district and borough councils to adhere to local needs, and progress vital projects to invest in the future of the community.

What do councils do?

Councils lead on community services such as allotments, footpaths, public seating and litter bins, but also larger projects such as the running of local transport, leisure services, youth services and climate change initiatives. These activities are funded by a local tax, called a precept which is determined by the council.

Council work often includes attending meetings, engaging with residents and speaking to local groups and bodies on behalf of the council.

Can I stand for election?

You must be:

• A British citizen, or a citizen of the Commonwealth, or the European Union

• 18 years of age or older

• Live in an area that is served by a local council

How can I get involved?

Contact the Parish Clerk or visit www.nalc.gov.uk/elections to find out more.

Relevant documents are attached

carol service 2

Christmas Carol Service, 5pm Saturday 19th December at Chilton House

/in /by

Our Christmas carol service normally held at St Mary’s Church is always a highlight of the Christmas calendar in Chilton. Despite all the restrictions this year we were determined to hold the event, even in a slightly different form to usual (sadly no mulled wine or mince pies) and at a different location. This year we invite you all to join us on Saturday 19th December at 5pm, at the front of Chilton House.

So wrap up warm, grab a torch, bring your family and friends (and dogs to howl along)  and join us for the annual carol service, with an al fresco twist.

To keep ourselves warm and in the spirt of Christmas, bring your musical instruments with you, whether it bells, whistles, a triangle or trombone… …

“The best way to spread Christmas cheer, is singing loud for all to hear”

The service sheet will be available on the website beforehand and  we encourage you to print it and bring your own (although we will have some spares available on the day).

We are delighted that we have found a way to still come together and remind you all to stay socially distanced in your household bubbles.

We look forward to seeing you on the 19th

 

P.S. We are hoping to take a collection of tinned and dry food to the Aylesbury food bank and any financial donations in a sealed envelope towards church expenses will be very very gratefully received.

Thank you

Village Poppy Appeal 2020 – Wednesday and Friday mornings

/in /by

A message from Ashley Riddell, the Long Crendon and Chilton Poppy Appeal Organiser for the Royal British Legion: –

Due to Covid restrictions , sadly no house to house Poppy collections can take place , so you won’t  see Jane or myself knocking on your doors over the coming two weeks

In an attempt to offer poppies to the village for those who wish to support the cause, it is my intention to stand with a table ( social distancing will apply) on Wednesday  and Friday mornings between 9 am and 12-ish  this coming week offering a range of goodies including the latest 2020 pin badge

Subject to weather conditions I will be either standing at the seat opposite the old club or under shelter in the bus shelter

I will be pleased to see you and have a chat  despite the mask!

The Village Church service of remembrance is currently planned to take place on the 8th of November at 3 o’clock subject to any new guidance from central government in the interim – why not come along?

Many thanks

Ashley Riddell
