The cherry tree on the small southern part of Cuddesdon Green near the church entrance is rotten and one of its major branches broke off recently.

The Parish Council has considered further work to improve Cuddesdon Green and it has been decided to have two conventional park benches rather than one round the tree, mainly because of cost and safety.

As with many organisations, the Parish Council is finding it difficult to balance its books at present.

For some years now, David Turner, our county councillor, has been trying to establish a footpath crossing over the river Thame in Chippinghurst.
