The Burial Grounds
In June 2004 the Parish Council completed the purchase of some 10 acres of
land between Great Bois Wood and the existing Burial Ground off Bois Moor
Road, which it had been offered earlier in the year. (See
Village News for full story)
Chesham Bois Common
Wooden posts have been installed
in various locations to prevent unauthorised vehicle access to the
common. Where vehicle access will possibly be required entry can now be
controlled by recently installed locked gates.
The common and woodland are
regularly inspected and there is a rolling programme of maintenance in
progress, this not only includes the felling of dead, dieing or
dangerous trees but also things like the removal of ivy from roadside
trees. Ivy can act like a sail in trees and increase the likelihood of a
tree toppling in high wind.
Previous initiatives by the
council have included provision of new street lighting, planting of a
willow hedge at Bricky Pond and arranging the formal adoption of
footpaths.
The footpath in North Road which puddled badly in wet weather has been
refurbished and widened.
