We are always on the look out for new people to join our waiting list of deliverers, either to cover other peo- ple ’ s routes during holiday or illness, or to take on per- manent routes when they arise. If you would be interested in delivering a pack of maga- zines, whether occasionally or each month, please email the Distribution Team on: distribution@buckdenroundabout.info Buckden Parish Council Can you help us care for our footpaths? You may remember that in 2019 we asked residents if they would like to join a group that would keep an eye on and care for our network of footpaths. Then of course Covid19 hit and we had to put everything on hold. We now feel that the time is right to try again. So if you would like to be part of our group and adopt a section of the footpath network, then please get in con- tact. Any level of help you can offer would be appreciat- ed. In the first instance please could we ask you to con- tact the Parish Clerk by phone (01480 819407) or by email ( clerk@buckdenpc.org.uk ) or through the contact form on the Buckden Parish Council website ( https:// buckdenpc.org.uk/contact/ ) to give her your contact details so we can start to get the group organised.
