I wonder if this is the tip of a sleeping giant which is on the verge of stirring and rising up? Post my earlier letter I also received a number supportive emails and telephone calls. http://www.buckinghamshireadvertiser.co.uk/south-buckinghamshire-news/letters-to-the-editor/2009/01/02/wave-of-wand-wont-reduce-council-tax-82398-22592806/ Fri, 02 Jan 2009 11:53:00 GMT http://www.buckinghamshireadvertiser.co.uk/south-buckinghamshire-news/letters-to-the-editor/2009/01/02/wave-of-wand-wont-reduce-council-tax-82398-22592806/ RE: Bucks County Council Costs ‘ Effect of ‘Bucks Times’ Letters, December 25) http://www.buckinghamshireadvertiser.co.uk/south-buckinghamshire-news/letters-to-the-editor/2008/12/19/joy-over-bridleways-decision-82398-22513034/ Fri, 19 Dec 2008 10:32:00 GMT http://www.buckinghamshireadvertiser.co.uk/south-buckinghamshire-news/letters-to-the-editor/2008/12/19/joy-over-bridleways-decision-82398-22513034/ Action for the Bridleways of Chesham are extremely pleased with the decision of the Inspector who held the Public Inquiry into the application for BOAT (Byway Open to All Traffic) status for the three Chesham lanes, for turning down all three applications by the Trail Riders Federation. Trapps lane, Bottom Lane and Bunns Lane will remain bridleways. http://www.buckinghamshireadvertiser.co.uk/south-buckinghamshire-news/letters-to-the-editor/2008/12/19/buckinghamshire-county-council-needs-to-be-more-recession-conscious-82398-22513017/ Fri, 19 Dec 2008 10:29:00 GMT http://www.buckinghamshireadvertiser.co.uk/south-buckinghamshire-news/letters-to-the-editor/2008/12/19/buckinghamshire-county-council-needs-to-be-more-recession-conscious-82398-22513017/ YOU have published over the past year a number of readers’ letters complaining about various aspects of the poor performance of Buckinghasmhire County Council. http://www.buckinghamshireadvertiser.co.uk/south-buckinghamshire-news/letters-to-the-editor/2008/12/19/squatters-still-a-concern-82398-22513013/ Fri, 19 Dec 2008 10:27:00 GMT http://www.buckinghamshireadvertiser.co.uk/south-buckinghamshire-news/letters-to-the-editor/2008/12/19/squatters-still-a-concern-82398-22513013/ Copy of letter sent to Cheryl Gillan MP RE squatters in Chartridge Lane, Chesham http://www.buckinghamshireadvertiser.co.uk/south-buckinghamshire-news/letters-to-the-editor/2008/12/17/chesham-travelodge-needs-permission-82398-22499286/ Wed, 17 Dec 2008 15:02:00 GMT http://www.buckinghamshireadvertiser.co.uk/south-buckinghamshire-news/letters-to-the-editor/2008/12/17/chesham-travelodge-needs-permission-82398-22499286/ So we have to walk the dog across the top of Lowndes Park to make you decide on giving planning permission, so you can see if it spoils the sky line of Chesham. Question, did they need it when they built White Hill School many years ago? You can see that from the park. http://www.buckinghamshireadvertiser.co.uk/south-buckinghamshire-news/letters-to-the-editor/2008/12/17/backing-the-amersham-traders-82398-22499267/ Wed, 17 Dec 2008 15:01:00 GMT http://www.buckinghamshireadvertiser.co.uk/south-buckinghamshire-news/letters-to-the-editor/2008/12/17/backing-the-amersham-traders-82398-22499267/ I fully support Mr Bland in his comments about parking in Amersham Old Town and as the local County Councillor I am elected like our MP to represent the views of both the businesses and residents in the parking proposals recommended by Chiltern District Council. http://www.buckinghamshireadvertiser.co.uk/south-buckinghamshire-news/letters-to-the-editor/2008/12/17/lack-of-christmas-cheer-shown-by-driver-82398-22499261/ Wed, 17 Dec 2008 15:00:00 GMT http://www.buckinghamshireadvertiser.co.uk/south-buckinghamshire-news/letters-to-the-editor/2008/12/17/lack-of-christmas-cheer-shown-by-driver-82398-22499261/ I should like to offer my condolences to the owner a car K registered, as I can only assume that he must have suffered a bereavement or similar and was therefore not in control of his actions last Friday in Hill Avenue, Amersham at about midday. http://www.buckinghamshireadvertiser.co.uk/south-buckinghamshire-news/letters-to-the-editor/2008/12/17/big-thanks-from-amersham-chesham-lions-club-82398-22499258/ Wed, 17 Dec 2008 14:59:00 GMT http://www.buckinghamshireadvertiser.co.uk/south-buckinghamshire-news/letters-to-the-editor/2008/12/17/big-thanks-from-amersham-chesham-lions-club-82398-22499258/ May I through your columns express my thanks to the public who so generously supported The Amersham & Chesham Christmas Parcels Scheme last week by providing groceries and donations outside Tesco in Amersham and Waitrose and Sainsbury's stores in Chesham. http://www.buckinghamshireadvertiser.co.uk/south-buckinghamshire-news/letters-to-the-editor/2008/12/17/disappointing-show-from-local-celebrities-82398-22499257/ Wed, 17 Dec 2008 14:57:00 GMT http://www.buckinghamshireadvertiser.co.uk/south-buckinghamshire-news/letters-to-the-editor/2008/12/17/disappointing-show-from-local-celebrities-82398-22499257/ Given the plethora of 'celebrities' who reside around Amersham, it was somewhat disappointing to see that the Mayor only managed to attract a member of Thames Valley Police and an unknown Elvis impersonator to switch on the Christmas lights. Surely a more high-profile person is needed if it is to attract people out of their houses on a cold December evening. http://www.buckinghamshireadvertiser.co.uk/south-buckinghamshire-news/letters-to-the-editor/2008/12/17/council-consultation-insulting-and-patronising-82398-22499248/ Wed, 17 Dec 2008 14:54:00 GMT http://www.buckinghamshireadvertiser.co.uk/south-buckinghamshire-news/letters-to-the-editor/2008/12/17/council-consultation-insulting-and-patronising-82398-22499248/ Copy of letter sent to David Shakespeare OBE.
