THE Annual Assembly of Little Missenden Parish Council was very well attended last Thursday. Residents received the Chairman's Report for the past year, and also heard presentations about recycling and the activities of the Youth Council. SID was introduced, and the parish council will be looking for volunteers later in the year to help monitor speeds through the village. Another issue raised was that of the threatened closure of the Chiltern Pet and Hardware shop. If you wish to support the shop, and are against its closure, please look out for the petition and add your name to it.
