Buckinghamshire Council seeks to change its position on Country Park THIS TUESDAY

In an unprecedented move, on Tuesday 11th October at 10 am, Buckinghamshire Council’s Cabinet will be hearing and voting on a report regarding the Little Marlow Lakes Country Park. You can read the report online.

We urge everyone to write, as soon as possible, to:
