CHAIRMAN Vacancy
We are seeking a CHAIRMAN to lead the Branch Trustees in campaigning for the objectives of CPRE and the Bucks Branch, co-operating with other like-minded organisations, responding to requests for assistance and acting as a membership organisation through meetings.
Members with skills, experience and interests that they feel are relevant are invited to apply. The time requirement is estimated to be one to two days per week, to own timetable, working from home. A job description can be supplied on request.

Pinewood Update
Local villagers have applied for some of the land, which Pinewood studios plans to build upon, to become a Village Green. They can do this under the 2006 Commons Act, which allows anyone to apply for village green status provided the land has been used “without permission, without being stopped or seeing notices which stop them and without being secretive about it, and that between them they have done this for a continuous period of 20 years”.
If successful, this would scupper Pinewood Studios’ plans to build 1400 new homes on the land, which is in the Green Belt. They are expected to appeal both the Council’s refusal of planning permission and the Village Green request.
Having helped the local Parish Councils fight the original application, CPRE are now monitoring the situation carefully.
