Middleton Cheney News Letter Launched.

We have all waited a long time to have an informative local ‘rag’ to read. Well, we have done it at last and now it is your chance to get involved with village matters. The News Letter will keep you informed on parish matters and local organisations, events, and meetings. It will also give you a chance to put your view on the way the village is being run and how we can improve. The Parish Council has been working hard to improve all areas in the village including traffic problems.

Use the magazine and website to help us. Inform the Parish if you notice a problem and how we can correct it.

We can only do this with your help
