AGM 2025

We held our first AGM in 5 years on 5 March 2025 in the Little Kinshill Village Hall. This was attended by around 50 members.
At the meeting a new committee was elected, some minor amendments to the constitution were approved and the Society accounts for the interim period 2021-2025 were presented and accepted.

Defibrillators

In a cardiac emergency there are 2 defibrillators in Little Kingshill,
one at the Village Hall (HP16 0DZ, outside the entrance on wall to the left)
and the other at The Full Moon Pub (HP16 0EE, on the wall nearest the road).

CALL 999, they can provide you with the ACCESS CODE for either machine in an emergency and talk you through what to do.

We were very lucky to have 2 local First Responders provide the basics of CPR and how to access and use a defibrillator to 50 local residents at the Village Hall on Saturday 17th January 2025.
A huge thank you to Bob Davy and Nick George from South Central Ambulance Service. They said they had never seen such a huge turn out in one village.

Scams

∗ A hoax chain email warning of a parcel delivery scam is doing the rounds again.
This is a hoax message which has been wheeled out at Christmas in various forms for years.
It asks you to pass it on to your friends, family and neighbours.

The Police fraud outfit, ActionFraud is the UK’s national fraud and internet
crime reporting centre. It provides a central point of contact for information about fraud and financially
motivated internet crime (tel. 0300 123 2040). On www.actionfraud.police.uk, it gives the following advice
about this hoax,which you are advised to pass on to whoever sends it to you, if you receive it from anyone you know:
If you receive this email just delete it and do not to forward it to anyone.

Current Local Issues

HS2 Campaign

Little Kingshill Village Society strongly opposed the construction of the high speed railway through the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

We continue to closely monitor the impact HS2 has on the Chilterns as the eight year construction period progresses and work with HS2 review groups in the AONB and in the Colne Valley with a view to reducing the disruption the railway will bring to local communities and the environment.

Buckinghamshire Council publish details of latest developments to keep communities informed:

Enforcement of the Speed Limit

The speed limit of 30 miles per hour through the village is believed to be exceeded frequently, particularly on Windsor Lane

Little Kingshill Village Society supports measures to limit the speed, such as speed activated "Slow Down" signs

Pot Holes

Several of the roads through the village have an unacceptable level of pot holes, potentially hazardous, particularly to cyclists, and damaging to cars.

Little Kingshill Village Society lobbies the local council for improvements to the condition of our roads, however, the more reports that go in the better. Contact Transport for Bucks: https://www.fixmystreet.buckscc.gov.uk to report a pot hole. You will need a post code or street name, the size and (ideally) a photo of the hole.

Fly Tipping

Illegal dumping of both domestic and trade wastes around the countryside is a serious nusisance and cost to our community

Little Kingshill Village Society promotes awareness of this issue and recommends that any action of a suspicious nature is reported promptly to our community police and to Transport for Bucks https://www.fixmystreet.buckscc.gov.uk.
