Whether it is unnecessary or needed is not for me to say. We are told that the public are fed up with elections although I expect it is it the media frenzy and politicking that people dislike. John Buchan said that all sensible people have the same politics and no sensible person talks about their politics. Which I think is right to the extent that political allegiance, voting intentions are personal private matters. I dislike the way the media try to trip up politicians about their private lives and views. What are really fairly standard Christian views are now seen a troubling or extreme. Politicians are asked about religion and church leaders asked about politics. I suppose if we are asked about our religious views or allegiance we have the same embarrassment. Religion is seen as personal and private but Christianity is essentially about being a community, and being part of community life. There is no secret ballot in church!

Learning as he went, but with a lifetime’s knowledge of growing all manners of fruit and vegetables, he set about planting hundreds of vines on his 15 acres of land overlooking the stunning Chiltern Hills. This area of outstanding natural beauty is the perfect location for Dinton Wines. With it’s south facing slope, chalky soil and temperate climate, Laurie saw the harvest triple from 2 tonnes in the first year, to 6 tonnes the second year. When it’s time to harvest, the vineyard is truly a family business and Laurie’s children, grandchildren and even his great-grandchildren, as well as neighbours from the local villages of Dinton and Upton, all come out in force to pick the grapes. Laurie grows the three classic grape varieties to achieve the subtle taste of his flagship quality English sparkling wine – Dinton Folly. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Meunier combine to produce a dry, elegant and complex taste. The first harvest was ready to drink in June 2016 and has been positively received. See Laurie’s advert on page 27 THE TALKING NEWSPAPER Aylesbury Talking Newspaper Association is a registered charity which produces weekly recordings of the Bucks Herald to keep visually impaired people in touch with local events, activities and news.

At this time every borough had a mint and Buckingham produced silver coins for nearly 100 years. Some were in the hoard. Ring Joan on 748530 or Carole on 748538 for further information.

  • 1 Buckinghamshire; a Military History by Ian F. W. Beckett
    Buckinghamshire; A Military History by Ian F. W. Beckett 1 Chapter One: Origins to 1603 Although it is generally accepted that a truly national system of defence originated in England with the first militia statutes of 1558, there are continuities with earlier defence arrangements. One Edwardian historian claimed that the origins of the militia lay in the forces gathered by Cassivelaunus to oppose Caesar’s second landing in Britain in 54 BC. 1 This stretches credulity but military obligations or, more correctly, common burdens imposed on able bodied freemen do date from the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms of the seventh and eight centuries. The supposedly resulting fyrd - simply the old English word for army - was not a genuine ‘nation in arms’ in the way suggested by Victorian historians but much more of a selective force of nobles and followers serving on a rotating basis. 2 The celebrated Burghal Hidage dating from the reign of Edward the Elder sometime after 914 AD but generally believed to reflect arrangements put in place by Alfred the Great does suggest significant ability to raise manpower at least among the West Saxons for the garrisoning of 30 fortified burghs on the basis of men levied from the acreage apportioned to each burgh. 3 In theory, it is possible that one in every four of all able-bodied men were liable for such garrison service. 4 Equally, while most surviving documentation dates only from 1 G. J. Hay, An Epitomised History of the Militia: The Military Lifebuoy, 54 BC to AD 1905 (London: United Services Gazette, 1905), 10.

  • ED113 Housing Land Supply Soundness Document (June 2018)
    1 VALP Housing Land Supply Soundness document June 2018 Introduction 1.1 This document accompanies the Submission Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan (VALP). It sets out the housing trajectory and housing land supply position based on the housing requirement and allocations within the Pre Submission VALP. It shows that a 5 year housing land supply can be demonstrated at the point of adoption. 1.2 This housing trajectory and housing land supply calculation is different to that in the latest published Housing Land Supply Position Statement (currently June 2018). It takes into account the redistribution of unmet need to Aylesbury Vale which is a ‘policy on’ matter. It is not appropriate to use ‘policy on’ figures for the purposes of calculating a 5 year housing land supply in the context of determining individual planning applications because they have not been tested through examination and found sound. 1.3 The ‘policy off’ approach to calculating the five year supply for application decisions has been endorsed by recent inspectors.1 In the Waddesdon appeal (July 2017) the inspector concluded at paragraph 81 that: “Although there may be some distribution from other districts to Aylesbury Vale, and although what this figure is might be emerging, at this stage in the local plan process any redistribution would represent the application of policy and thus represent a ‘policy on’ figure. As the Courts have made clear this is not appropriate for consideration in a Section 78 appeal and I am therefore satisfied that for this appeal the OAN figure for Aylesbury Vale should be 965 dwellings per annum”.
