The Agenda and meeting papers have now been published for the Parish Council meeting on 18 September. The information can be found in the 2019 – 2020 – Agenda and Minutes of Meetings section of the website.
All villagers are welcome to attend the meeting at 7.30pm in the Community Room of Elmsbrook School.
As you may have seen, the Springfield Road Noticeboard is in rather a sorry state, so the Parish Council is looking to replace it as it’s beyond repair.
Before we buy a new one though, we’d like to know whether villagers would prefer to have one the same shape and size as the current one, whether you’d like one similar to the two bay style boards on Thompson Drive or whether it’s not now needed in this internet age.
Please let us know by emailing clerk@caversfieldpc.org.uk
The South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust has vacancies for Public Governors across Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Hampshire.
They provide 999, NHS 111 and patient transport services in Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Berkshire and Hampshire and patient transport services in Surrey and Sussex.
Governors have lots of important responsibilities such as appointing and holding to account the chair and other non-executive directors; contributing to the development of the Trust’s strategy; and engaging with the members who elect them.
Governors need to be confident communicators and able to speak to our members and the public about healthcare matters.
To be eligible to be a Governor you must be a member of the constituency you wish to stand for and be 16 or over.
Members have until the autumn to complete an application to become a Governor
If you’ve got what it takes to join our team, go to our website https://www.scas.nhs.uk/about-scas/council-of-governors/governors-election/ to sign up as a member and find out how to become a Governor.

The Community House is on Bramley Avenue which is the last turning on the left before the hoardings and the ‘unmade’ part of Charlotte Avenue; there is limited parking, so if you can arrange to car share, that would be helpful. There is a location map with the agenda.
