Action for a Cleaner Environment

Local Conservatives were out in force on Saturday as part of a National day of action on the environment. They were joined by local MP David Lidington and were targeting areas for litter collection. Three main areas were visted on the day: Elm Farm Shops, Cambridge Street area and riverine outside Aylesbury train station. Over 20 sack fulls of litter were collected and we also came across many local residents who were pleased to see us out and about caring for the environment.

Shadow Minister Visits Aylesbury

Yesterday, the Shadow Minister for the Environment and Rural Affairs, Peter Ainsworth MP was in Aylesbury to meet Councillors and residents. Amongst those present were Cllrs Abdul Khailq and Carole Patternoster and Watermead and Elmhurst Conservative, Sue Severn. He visited the Council offices in Exchange street to look at a model and plans for the new Waterside development, and then went on a walkabout down the canal and along to Vale Park to see for himself what development was going where. He then went off to a farm in Weston Turville who are diversifying into other areas. As well as beef farming they have a livery and also make handmade chicken coops for people who want to keep their own chickens. The Bucks Herald came down to take a video of this which will be on their website.
