For a thriving countryside that benefits everyone

New Bucks planning consultation: Our draft Statement of Community Involvement. Have your say: https://www.buckinghamshire.gov.uk/news/council-consults-on-new-statement-of-community-involvement-sci/

We agree! Planning can create the healthy, low carbon and beautiful homes and places we all need.

We joined 18 organisations to set out our #VisionForPlanning and urge @MHCLG to listen.

Together we can make this vision a reality for our countryside 💪

Will you be taking part in #StarCount?

From 6-14 February, we're asking the nation to count the stars they can see in the constellation of Orion so we can map our view of the stars.

Here's how to do it 👇 https://www.cpre.org.uk/what-we-care-about/nature-and-landscapes/dark-skies/star-count-2021/

Is there anything more beautiful than early-morning sunlight streaming through a thicket of trees?

Take a moment to notice nature today. You might be surprised at what you find 💚

Enter the Children's Mural Design Competition. The drawing should be on A4 paper and outlined in a dark colour so that it stands out. Name and age should be included. E-mail the drawing to events@buckingham-tc.co.uk by noon on 20th July. @discoverbuckingham @robinstuchbury

Let's invest the money in public transport, cycling and active travel instead.
