Our latest edition of Your Parish Magazine is on its way and will land on doormats across the parish very soon! Packed with local news, upcoming events, community updates, and useful contacts, this autumn / winter issue celebrates everything happening in Great Linford Parish.
Whether you're curious about community projects, want to get involved in local activities, or just fancy a good read with your cuppa, there’s something in this edition for everyone.
Welcome from Cllr Derek Harvey OBE, Chair of Personnel Committee
As we step into autumn, I am delighted to introduce this edition of the Great Linford Parish Council magazine. It has been another remarkable year for our parish, one filled with achievements, change, and inspiring stories that reflect the strength of our community.
This issue begins with a sincerely heartfelt farewell to our long-serving Parish Clerk, Eirwen, who, after nearly 18 years of dedicated service, has announced that she will be hanging up her Clerk’s hat early in the New Year. Her leadership and commitment have shaped so much of what we do today, and we wish her the very best in the next chapter of her life.
We also take a moment to reflect on the year, from well-attended litter picks and the joy of our Summer Fun Day to the many grants awarded to local groups and the continued success of our Community Forums. There is much to celebrate. Our ongoing work under the Armed Forces Covenant is another highlight, strengthening the support we provide for veterans and their families.
This edition shines a spotlight on an extraordinary local story: Kewe King, a young athlete with roots in Conniburrow, who is now a Winter Olympics hopeful in bobsledding. Kewe’s journey from our local area to the world stage is truly inspiring and a testament to resilience and dreaming big.
As the colder months approach, we share details of the many services and activities available this winter, from the Food Bank and community social spaces to cooking classes designed to bring people together.
Finally, if you’ve ever thought about making a difference in your community, we encourage you to consider becoming a councillor. Your voice and experience can help shape the future of our parish.
I hope you enjoy reading this edition and feel as proud as I do of everything we’ve accomplished together.
