AVDC grant for village Post Office

Steeple Claydon's village bakery and post office are set to receive a £6,500 upgrade as part of AVDC's rural grants scheme, it has been announced.

Karl's bakery and the post office are a focal point of the village, serving and supporting many local people. The grant will be used to create better access for disabled people and make other improvements to the 100 year old premises in West Street.

This is one of the first grants to be awarded as part of AVDC's Vital Village scheme, designed to support the rural economy in the Vale of Aylesbury.

It is great news that Steeple Claydon has been chosen to benefit from this excellent scheme.

Message to the electors of the Steeple Claydon ward

It is a great honour to have served as the Conservative member for the Steeple Claydon Ward on Aylesbury Vale District Council for the last 13 years.
With the launch of the new Unitary Buckinghamshire Council on 1st April 2020 I am now one of the Councillors for the Grendon Underwood Ward in the new Council. I am also a member of the Council's Cabinet.
The elections due to be held in May 2020 have been postponed for a year, so I shall continue to represent the Claydons and Hillesden until May 2021.
Please do not hesitate to contact me to share your concerns, ideas and hopes for the future of our local community.

This is the north-east edge of the village of Steeple Claydon on the Buckingham Road that comes from Padbury 4km to the north-west. Steeple Claydon is one of four villages in north Buckinghamshire collectively known as The Claydons. The name comes from the Old English clægig + dun and means 'clayey hill', and much of Steeple Claydon lies on a hill which is over 100m. The village church, St Michael's, is near the top of the hill and its spire dominates the skyline, and hence 'Steeple' was used to distinguish the village from the other Claydons
