Merry Christmas to All

I would like to wish all visitors to this Blog a very Merry Christmas and every good wish for 2008.

I has been an exciting year for me as I have become a new Councillor on the Aylesbury Vale District Council and there has certainly been a lot to learn. One of the highlights was Steeple
Claydon winning the Best Kept Village award; the village football team is doing very well too.
I hope to continue to get to know the local residents and their concerns and to take up issues
on their behalf.

A very Happy Christmas to all.

Handrail to go up outside Doctor's Surgery

I am delighted to be able to report that following my request to Bucks County Council,
a handrail will be erected on the pavement outside the Steeple Claydon doctors' surgery
at the corner of Challoners Hill and Vicarage Lane.
The work will begin on 7th January 2008. Not a moment too soon, as our residents face
a steep and slippery slope and the prospect of ice and snow making it all the more treacherous.

This is the latest in a list of improvements which have been carried out to roads and pavements
in and around Steeple Claydon following my 'badgering' of the County Council:

- resurfacing of Addisons Road
- repair to pothole in West Street
- repair of large hole in road between Padbury and Steeple Claydon caused by a badger's sett
- inclusion of road from Steeple Claydon to Calvert in list of priority roads for winter maintenance.

I fully intend to keep up the good work on your behalf.
