HGV Limit Through Parish
Further to the application submitted to Central Bedfordshire Council, both CBC and Amey received overwhelming support for Eaton Bray to be included in the scheme. Both Eaton Bray and Totternhoe Parish Councils are now working together to put forward an updated scheme to include both villages in a revised scheme.
Christmas In The Parish
The Parish Council would like to thank all the businesses/individuals who sponsored the Christmas Wreaths this year.

To express your interest in sponsoring a wreath for Christmas 2015, please contact Cllr. Philip Spicer with your details: Email - [email protected] .
Felling/Trimming Trees On Parish Council Land
In line with the procedures set out by Central Bedfordshire Council (see below), the Parish Council would like to bring to residents' attention the general guidelines regarding the felling/trimming trees on Parish Council land.
Central Bedfordshire Council
It is generally Council [CBC] policy not to top, lop or fell otherwise healthy trees that would otherwise need no maintenance to:
- Alleviate problems such as the build of leaves, seeds, berries or other minor debris on a neighbouring property.
- To allow more light to a property, where the trees in question would not otherwise require any surgery.
- To improve television or satellite reception.
- To prevent roots entering already broken pipes.
... if a tree/hedge does not have birds nesting or if a tree does not have a tree preservation order, we can only work on it if there is a health and safety risk or the tree is diseased.
Next Council Meeting
Monday 5th January 2015, 7.30pm, in the Coffee Tavern.
