Community Litter Pick - this Sunday

Following our successful spring litter pick on some of the village's most popular footpaths, it's time to continue the good work.  The Greening Chinnor Campaign, with the support of Chinnor Parish Council are organising another community litter pick on Sunday 30th September on some of our most well walked public footpaths and bridleways.

Just turn up at White's Field car park (Mill Lane, Chinnor) at 10am for a briefing ready for a 10:30 start. Make sure you bring/wear suitable clothing including gardening gloves or similar and suitable footwear together with some refreshments. We plan to finish about 13:00 latest.

Village Showcase

We were delighted to attend the Annual Assembly of the Parish and Village Showcase in Chinnor last night where members of GCC met councillors and members of many other organisations and businesses in Chinnor.  It was a useful opportunity to explain what we're doing and working to achieve, and find out more about other organisations and how we may dovetail our activities to ensure we don't waste precious resources unnecessarily duplicating efforts.
It was also an excellent opportunity to get feedback on what people think about our plans to help us understand how we might improve communications and provide the right information to support our activity. 
Thanks to all who came along.  If you missed it, you can see us again at FoE Swap Shop in a few weeks.  Click on the Events & Meetings page for details or sign up to receive our monthly newsletter (see Contact Us page)
