Aylesbury Parking - AVDC have again this year made parking free for the run up to Christmas (yes there are only 50 days to go!!!) in their Aylesbury car parks each Thursday from 17th November 4.30pm onwards. Please note this does not include the Friars Square car park.Queens Diamond Jubilee - there are moves afoot for the village to be doing something for this event, there is still much discussion to be had around who does the organising, possible grant funding and perhaps more importantly - what to do! The Parish Council will be discussing this at their next meeting on 7th December. Perhaps interested parties would like to come along with ideas for what to do and how to go about doing it?Village Plan - in case anyone is sitting anxiously awaiting the results of the questionnaire circulated round the village mid-July, Councillor Perkins has promised the findings for an article in the next Chronicle. He says a good number of people replied and that the results will be quite revealing!!!!Neighbourhood Plan - sorry, we know you have been bombarded with paperwork lately, blame AVDC and the government. The NP is not to be confused with the VP, Peter Shorrock wrote an excellent article in last months Chronicle explaining the difference - the main thing is that both documents are very important for Aston Abbotts future. We have had quite a good response on this NP questionnaire circulated early October but we fear that people feel over whelmed with all these questions. We would love some more responses, but please be quick and if you need another copy it is on the website (see the link at the top of this page) or drop by 12 The Green.Faye Godleman, Community Safety Project Officer, has written an article on Keeping safe this winter.
