It has been an exciting few months since issue 75 with planning permission approved at Bourton Meadow and a wonderful result with our Localgiving.com fundraising. We are celebrating the great work that our volunteers do in this issue with several articles written by the volunteers themselves. You are all what make the charity great! With a new membership leaflet and a new sign for the canal at Cogrove we are moving firmly towards a more professional image for the Society and the canal. We are working hard on the new website and new publications to make the Society a charity that looks like it means business.

Work has already started to remove the very thick, dense mud from the bottom of the lock chamber. This work is being carried out by hand, a real navvying job - good fun if you enjoy mud! There is also quite a lot of re-pointing work to be carried out in and around the lock and this is proceeding well in spite of the weather. We have been helped by a group of volunteers from the National House-Building Council (NHBC) who joined us on three separate occasions working with our volunteers. Having extra people on site always helps with the workload and the groups enjoy themselves and spread the word about the Society, and our volunteers get to work with different people which provides an exciting mix. If anyone knows of a company or a group of students who you think might be interested in joining us for a ‘team building’ day do contact us. 5 As well as the work on the lock chamber another very muddy task is the removal of the reeds from the bed of the canal. Considerable amounts were removed last year but unfortunately some of these have re-grown and the feeling is this is a task we will have to tackle each year. Once removed and with the channel opened up again, and especially with the amount of rain we have had lately, we have a ‘canal in water’ again. The hedge laying and wildlife habitat piles that were made last year have been tidied up (see previous page with Helen working with NHBC volunteers) and weeding has taken place around the saplings that were planted over the last two or three years, most of which have survived. There is still plenty of work to do at this site and again plenty of opportunities for other companies to volunteer with us. Cosgrove . At Cosgrove, where the vegetation was cleared from the canal bed, we have now We have been helped by a group of volunteers from the National House-Building reached agreement with British Waterways (BW) to dismantle and rebuilt the flood Council (NHBC) who joined us on three separate occasions working with our sluice nearer the A5 end of the canal. BW will be supplying the bricks and mortar, volunteers. Having extra people on site always helps with the workload and the etc free of charge and this will save a considerable amount of money for BCS. Our groups enjoy themselves and spread the word about the Society, and our volunteers thanks go to Jeff Whyatt and Neil Owen and the rest of the team at BW who are get to work with different people which provides an exciting mix. If anyone knows helping with this project. We have also been given permission to take down the of a company or a group of students who you think might be interested in joining rather broken fences, which straddle the towpath and replace them with gates, us for a ‘team building’ day do contact us. which should prove to be of great benefit to walkers particularly those with dogs. The Montgomery Canal Society have been using a new type of liner for their restoration work and we have been in touch with the manufacturer and a site visit was arranged. The new material looks very promising and we hope to use it for the earth bunds at Cosgrove. Little Hill Farm At Little Hill Farm as the footpath is not open to the public we will be clearing and trimming the hedges and footpath through August and September so that they don’t get completely overgrown again. Bourton Meadow At our Bourton Meadow site, whilst we are trying to secure funding to re-line this section of canal volunteers have been keeping the canal bed and footpaths strimmed with extra work parties arranged to carry out this work. Stowe School are also working at Bourton Meadow and have cleared the drainage ditch that runs along the top of the site and will be working on the canal bed until the end of June. 6 So there is a variety of work being carried out over the next few months but there is still much to be done. Again my thanks go to our grand group of volunteers who are making everything happen. Athina Beckett - Work Party Organiser. Chairman’s Chat A lot of exciting events to report this quarter. BCS has recently joined ‘Local Giving’ which is a way for people to donate online via our website on localgiving. com/buckscanal From time to time they run ‘Match Challenges’ where if people donate to the Society on a Challenge Day the money is doubled. Details about these Challenges will appear on our web site from time to time so please keep checking, as this could be a great money earner for us! We have recently updated and reprinted our membership leaflet and here I would like to thank Richard Lewis and Kirsty Willette who designed the new graphics on the leaflet (see right). Our thanks also go to Buckingham Community Foundation who funded the new leaflet. Strimming As mentioned on the cover - The signpost by Cosgrove Lock now reads ‘Buckingham Canal under restoration’. This is an important step in recognition of our restoration efforts for the Buckingham Canal. Restoring Canal Heritage for Future Generations www.buckinghamcanal.org.uk registered charity no 10729241 7 The other exciting news is that our planning application to re-water Bourton Meadow has now been approved. There are several conditions which still have to be met and the Committee is working on these at present, but this is a very large and positive step forward to restoring this section of canal. Our Open Day at Cosgrove Village Hall took place on Sunday 22nd April. Invitations were sent out to all local residents, and all the local boaters moored on the Grand Union Canal and Buckingham Arm also received an invitation. The Barley Mow pub and the shop at Cosgrove Leisure Park also displayed our posters. The day went very well with those who attended being very interested in the plans on display. Everyone was asked to leave a ‘comment’ in the signing-in book and I can report that no negative comments were received.

  • 2015/2016 Report to Parish Council Re: Deanshanger Village Heritage Society
    Deanshanger Annual Parish meeting 22 April 2016 Report booklet Deanshanger Parish Council The parish council would like to thank the residents of Deanshanger for voting for them in the 2015 elections, it’s been a challenge as well as hard work, but though the learning curve is a steep one, the council is delivering results now and has plans for 2016 which will help the village. The parish council have maintained the same precept as 2014/15 which is excellent news to residents as there has been no increased costs. The Council have all finances and the records up to date to ensure the monies secured and held by the Parish Council are accountable and the use of funds is widely known. The council has the precept as well as some secured funds from development in the village. There is also the New Homes Bonus which groups of Deanshanger have access to apply to for funds. We have this year looked to work with the police to ensure we have issues facilitated and managed and worked with the police to maintain a safe environment. Also working with the police and the community to support Neighbourhood Watch and understand where we can support new initiatives such as street watch. The council has seen a lot of a change with new councillors, now up to capacity along with a new clerk. All of which has been exciting and challenging, to ensure that the running of the council is in order, up to standard and for everyone to understand the polices which sometimes have been challenging due to the amount of bureaucracy involved.

  • Parish Council Newsletter
    Parish Council Newsletter Winter 2016 An update from the Chairman Jim Wright Hi time has flown since my last update and I have a number of things to update you on, all of which equally important. It has been announced by members of the Deanshanger Day Centre, that a number of members of the volunteer team are stepping down at Christmas, they have been volunteering for the club for a number of years and now feel it is time to sit back and relax. I would like to sincerely thank the members who are stepping down for their time commitment and outstanding service they have given our village and our older residents over the years. The Day Centre is a massive asset to the village it provides a hot meal, meeting with like minded people who have retired and welcome the company and lunch every Thursday and had been going for over 30 years. Due to the volunteers stepping down, we desperately need help on Thursdays, the club opens around 7:30am am to set up table’s chairs and start the prep for dinner (all freshly cooked food) the members arrive by mini bus around 10am – they have tea/coffee play bingo or hold a raffle, then onto dinner and relax and depart about 2pm. The volunteer’s then tidy up put equipment away. What the club needs are people who can help on a Thursday with peeling veg setting up the hall, and clearing up. They also need help raising funds. If you can commit to helping on a Thursday, please contact Mrs Ridgway at the club or myself and I will pass your details on.

Well it goes without saying that we have had a terrible time with the weather so far this year! Although Cosgrove has certainly been in flood, many other places across the country have seen far, far worse. Nonetheless, the storms and the continuous rainfall have had a knock on effect on the progress of work on Bridge No.1. While the restoration work has slowed, other things have progressed. We have acquired and brought back to Cosgrove our new workboat, Louise. She will be a huge asset to our cause. We have also been granted planning permission for our new access track at Cosgrove.
