The Chiltern Society Volunteers have recently completed much needed improvement and repair works to Jacobs Ladder. These much used steps have been used for many years. Continued maintenance will ensure that they can be used for years to come. Link to image of the newly refurbished steps below:

Following advice from the arboriculturist engaged by the Parish Council to conduct regular inspection of trees,  two mature trees on the War Memorial ‘triangle,’ bordered by Bois Lane, Glebe Way and North Road, will unfortunately have to be felled in March 2024 because they have been reported to be affected by ash dieback disease. 

Chesham Bois Parish Council is pleased to announce that Karen Keen was co-opted to join the team as a new Parish Councillor at the Council Meeting held on 12th February.  Karen has lived in the local area for more than 20 years and brings a lot of valuable experience as well as enthusiasm to contribute to the work of the Council.

Following a memorial safety survey, contractors from Amersham Town Council will be carrying out memorial safety works in the Burial Ground on 7th and 8th February. These works will not affect access to the Burial Ground for visitors.
