Great & Little Kimble cum Marsh Parish Council

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).

A yellow heat health alert is in effect from 10AM on 09/07/2025 until 10AM on 15/07/2025 across the Southeast including Buckinghamshire.

Due to the anticipated hot weather and our commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of our collection crews, waste and recycling collections on Thursday 10^th and Friday 11^th Julywill commence earlier, from 6:00am.

This proactive measure is being implemented to reduce the risk of heat exhaustion for our teams during the hottest parts of the day.

To give residents as much notice as possible, our website will be updated today with this information, advising them to please leave their bins out the night beforeto ensure they receive a collection. We will not be able to return if a bin is missed because it is not out, even if this is before the resident’s usual collection time. We will also be updating our social media channels.

We will continue to monitor temperatures throughout the summer months and communicate any changes to the service to you and our residents as soon as any impact is reported.
