Great & Little Kimble cum Marsh Parish Council

(Kimble Stewart Hall)

Great & Little Kimble cum Marsh Parish is set in the beautiful Vale of Aylesbury at the foot of The Chiltern Hills in Buckinghamshire.

Each and everyone of our councillors welcome you to our rural parish. We are situated on the northern edge of the Wycombe District, with rich lower farm land to the North rising into part of the magnificent Chiltern Hills to the South.

The 394 homes are well spread across 1,212 hectares. The main settlements are Smoky Row, Clanking, Marsh, Kimblewick, Little Kimble and Great Kimble.

The southern part of the parish is within the Chilterns Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty and The Green Belt – an area representing nearly 25% of the parish. The rest is most attractive too, and we strive to keep it that way.

The National Trust owns the land around Pulpit Hill. There is a network of public footpaths and bridleways from which to explore the varied countryside within the parish.

The population is growing, with many young families now taking the numbers to just over 1,000 (988 in the 2001 Census).

The annual canvass is about to begin in Buckinghamshire – are your electoral details up to date?

The annual canvass ensures that we keep the Register of Electors updated. It also helps us to identify any residents who are not currently registered to vote, so they can be invited to register.

Please look out for messages from us during July and August, so we can make sure that we have all the current and correct details on the register.

You will receive either an email or a letter in the post from Buckinghamshire Council and all you need to do is to read the email or letter carefully and follow the instructions on how to respond, if necessary. It’s very quick and easy! We recommend responding online where possible, but you can also respond by phone or by post.

If you’re not currently registered, your name won’t appear on the messages we send. If you need to register to vote, the easiest way to apply is online atwww.gov.uk/register-to-vote, but you will still need to respond to our message.

It’s important you’re registered to ensure that you have your say in the next election, simply follow the instructions sent to you.

Lisa Marie Williams, Buckinghamshire Council’s Assistant Chief Executive, said:

“We will begin contacting residents this week and into next week. Please be assured that any emails sent fromelections@canvass.buckinghamshire.gov.uk with the subject line ‘Electoral Registration – Response Required’ are genuine and not part of a scam – something we understand can be a concern for residents.

“We strongly encourage everyone to respond as early as possible. Doing so helps reduce the need for costly reminder notices and follow-up visits by council staff. Responding online is especially helpful – it cuts down on printing, postage, and travel, all of which have an environmental impact, it also helps save money. In fact, residents responding online last year helped us save nearly £32,000 on printing and postage costs.”

Further information on the annual canvass can be found on the Election pages of the council’s website at:www.buckinghamshire.gov.uk/confirm-voting-details

Any residents who have any questions can contact the council’s Electoral Registration team at elections@buckinghamshire.gov.uk or by calling 01296 798 141.
