Edlesborough Cemetery Access
A meeting has taken place between the Parish Council and The Churches Conservation Trust and agreement was reached to produce a more basic specification which will be forwarded to Contractors to enable the Parish Council to obtain revised quotations.
Northall Playground
Installation of new play equipment took place adjacent to the Village Hall during April. Council have agreed to include the equipment and safety surfacing together with the play equipment at Dagnall within the Insurance Policy which currently covers the play equipment at Edlesborough.
Play Around the Parishes Play Scheme
Following the success of the event run by Aylesbury Vale District Council at Edlesborough and Dagnall last year the Parish Council have requested the return of this scheme during the Summer holidays and to include Northall. Further information will be notified in due course.
Safer Routes to School have been successful in obtaining grant funding to upgrade the bridleway between Ivinghoe Aston and Edlesborough thus enabling the children to walk to Edlesborough School in safety.
Dagnall have received approval of grant funding to install a Multi-Purpose Recreational Track on Dagnall Recreation Field.
Transport
Unfortunately the bus to Milton Keynes has had to be withdrawn due to costs involved in running the service and has been replaced by a daily service to Bletchley. Buses will continue to run between the villages of Northall, Edlesborough and Dagnall to Dunstable, Leighton Buzzard, Bletchley and Hemel Hempstead. The Parish Council are continually pressing for the 61 bus from Luton to Aylesbury to have a pick up point at Dagnall as well as Edlesborough and this is being looked into.

The Annual General Meeting will take place on Thursday 15th May 2008 preceding the Ordinary Parish meeting.
