The next stage of the Section 19 flooding enquiry process is about to start and the Buckinghamshire Council Flood Management Team would like to hear comments and views from as many Tingewick residents as possible. This helps them have a good cross section on all views from those that were affected this time and those that have seen it happen before.

So PLEASE complete the questionnaire found here https://forms.office.com/r/SJyiQt66Rn and submit asap!

This is an extract of their letter to TPC; “As you are aware, following the flooding that impacted Tingewick on 23 December 2020, Buckinghamshire Council in its role as the Lead Local Flood Authority is undertaking a formal flood investigation under Section 19 of the Flood and Water Management Act (2010). Buckinghamshire Council has commissioned JBA Consulting to investigate the causes and impacts of the flooding that occurred. We would like to arrange a site visit with representatives from Tingewick Parish Council to look at the locations which flooded and understand the sources and impacts of flooding and speak to residents about their experiences during the flood event. The information that we gather will help the Council to understand how this flooding has impacted the local community, and to consider potential options to manage the risk of similar flooding occurring in the future.”

We will let you know when the team will be visiting the village for those of you who are happy to speak to the investigators.

Thank you

Tingewick Parish Council are saddened by the news of the death of Prince Philip. Our condolences, thoughts and prayers are with the Queen and the Royal Family.

We stand alongside the nation and indeed the world as we all come to terms with the news. We recognise the immense contribution to public duty and service that Prince Philip made, together with everything he did for our County and for the nation as a whole.

The flag will fly at half-mast at St Mary Magdalene Church in Tingewick from 9 April until after the funeral has taken place. We will observe the one-minute silence on Saturday 17 April at 3pm.

In line with national guidance, due to the pandemic, we are not able to host and open physical books of condolence as it is not safe to do so. We would however encourage those who would like to share a message to sign Buckingham Palace’s online book of condolence.

If you are without access to the internet you can call the Buckinghamshire Council contact centre, or to pop into the library and staff will help you to submit your message.

Additionally, in line with The Royal Family’s wishes, we advise residents not to leave any floral tributes and instead to make a charitable donation.

Buckinghamshire Council will be broadcasting a memorial service led by the Bishop of Buckingham on Friday 16 April which can be accessed via their website when the details have been confirmed.
