We will shortly be putting you through to our new Phone Box Library
Following various fund raising events,we now have sufficient funds to start work on renovating the tired, sad and neglected phone box.
Coincidentally our works started just after the council made their first visit this year to cut the verges and clear all the weeds away ready for our painter to start work
So Saturday saw a thorough clean down followed by a primer coat, followed on Sunday with a top coat to start making the phone box look respectable again
The replacement glass and signage for the top of the box is on order and this followed by a bit more work will leave the box ready t recevie some shelving for us to create our very own Chilton library.
Following on the shirt tails of other villages, we are going to invite residents to donate spare books to our small library in the hope that this will create a useful benefit to all
Depending on the remaining funds after this work we are hoping to landscape around the box and even provide a bench – we might have to extend to a bit more fundraising but this is a great start
So many thanks to all those who have contributed over the past couple of years
It was with great sadness we learnt of the death of David Beard in the last few days. David was born and bred in Chilton and lived in The Old Forge for many years before moving away in the seventies to Lancashire.
He recently made contact with the village again via Chilton News and received many comments and contacts, sharing stories and memories of his friends and family in Chilton
David was hugely enthusiastic about this new website and very kindly provided a link to his online library of photographs from Chilton – all he asked was a simple printed credit alongside his photos. We are therefore enormously proud and privileged to be able to share these with you via this site – simply click here to view his photos
We have also shared these photos with those of Alison Clayton on our GALLERY page, providing a wonderful collection of views past and present in the village David loved
Following an enquiry to Transport for Buckinghamshire we were advised of the following:
Urban grass cutting is four times over the season, this is around a six week turn round.
The grass verges were cut on Monday 24th April, so we should see them cut again around week commencing 5th June – please keep us informed if the grass is getting too long
Following contact with our County Councillor, Angela McPherson, during week commencing 17th April, it was good to see a road technician marking up the Chilton Roads on Friday identifying potholes to be filled
