Your Parish Magazine
At Great Linford Parish Council, we are dedicated to keeping the community informed and connected. That's why we are proud to deliver Your Parish Magazine three times a year to every home in our parish. Each edition is packed with news, views, and updates that matter to you. From local events and council initiatives to community stories and important announcements, the magazine serves as your go-to source for everything happening in Great Linford.
Welcome to the latest issue of Your Parish Magazine, Issue No. 63 Summer 2024
Introduction from Ed Nixon, Chair of Great Linford Parish Council
I'm afraid that I start this edition's column on a sombre note: our Vice Chair, Trevor Heale, has sadly passed away.
Since joining the council in 2016, Trevor’s contributions have been invaluable, particularly his passion for environmental issues. His dedication, drive, and friendship will be deeply missed. Perhaps the best way to remember Trevor's contribution is to forge ahead with those environmental ideals that he was so passionate about, many of which continue to be important to our community life in the Parish.
Please turn to pages six and seven for a special tribute from some of those who knew him best.
Also in this edition of the magazine, we are sharing details of the development of the Conniburrow Community Programme, with news that the new Hub will offer a space for a Community Fridge, a Wellbeing and Community café, youth activities, and outreach programmes. It will also serve as a distribution centre for MK Food Bank and Girl Pack, and host various advice sessions. The Hub is designed to create a lasting legacy, fostering sustainable activities and events for residents to benefit from for years to come.
Back in March, we hosted the inaugural Community Forum session, with strong participation from MKCC Landscape, Waste, Resident Engagement, City Councillors, Thames Valley Police, and Neighbourhood Watch. The event fostered lively debates and generated numerous questions, underscoring its success. We encourage all residents to attend future sessions.
Nationally, we have a summer of major sporting events to look forward to, with the Olympic Games, Wimbledon, and The Euros causing excitement, and I am sure many will be inspired to get involved with sports and leisure activities as a result. We are fortunate that the Parish offers some truly great facilities, and we take a closer look at what’s on offer in the local area. Do get involved – sport can be fun!
Our goal is to continue building a strong, cohesive community. We are excited about the opportunities ahead and remain dedicated to supporting and enhancing the lives of our residents. Thank you for your continued engagement and support.
