The Town Mayor’s Welcome

For those of you who don’t know me well, I’ll start by

sharing a brief snapshot of my background and story.

Whilst I call Britain home, my journey started way back

when my country of birth, Belize, was still a British

colony on the shores of Western Caribbean, in Central

America. Belize is where I learnt the values of selfreliance,

self-pride, civic pride and the importance of

giving back to the community. That is my foundation and

those are the steadfast values that have successfully taken

me through the world; whether in my life as an

entrepreneur, or when I lived and worked in Scandinavia,

in Latin America, in London or here in Chesham.

I moved from London to our town in 2017, and

remarkably, less than six years later, I cannot express in

words just how honoured I am to have had this great

privilege conferred on me. Whilst my election and

appointment makes history in Chesham in several ways,

it is more so a testament as to just how welcoming and

inclusive the people of our town are – to which I say

thank you! Thank you Chesham and thank you Chesham

Town Council.

When I moved to Chesham from Bayswater, I was

immediately charmed and thought – what a difference an

hour from London makes. I loved the cobbled high street

lined with independent shops, smiling chatty people at

Waitrose, and most of all, I loved Saturday market days

for my weekly supply of fruit and veg at ‘6 bowls a fiver’.

Sadly, Covid 19 has hastened the decline of our high

street, which brings me to the central theme of my vision

for Chesham, and what I plan to achieve as mayor.

Looking back to Adam Smith, in Wealth of Nations, he

described how commerce of the English towns

contributed to the improvement of the country

as a whole. Whilst as Mayor of Chesham I have no remit

over this country’s economy, I

believe I can play a small role in

the improvement of our local

economy in our town.

So, what is my vision and

goal for my year as mayor?

Simply put, ‘Destination

Chesham’. Whilst this idea isn’t

unique, it has never had a

champion, and with your help,

Councillor

Wilford Augustus

my goal as mayor is to help make ‘Destination Chesham’ a

reality! I will work with our councils, town partners, local

organisations, businesses and the community to help

them coordinate the delivery of events that promote our

high street, our town, and our slice of the English

countryside, to both our residents and visitors from

surroundings shires, London and overseas.

Through our joint effort, ‘Destination Chesham’ will

bring our town centre to life and increase footfall to our

high street, which in turn will help businesses thrive and

incentivise others to open new high street shops.

‘Destination Chesham’ will give both residents and

visitors great reasons to visit and shop in Chesham.

Lastly, I would like to invite you to kindly support my

Mayoral Charities which are the Royal British Legion,

Love Lowndes Park (which aims to fundraise £150,000

for play equipment), and Caracol Youth Community

Development, a Chesham-based charity operating in

Belize. Each charity is close to my heart with a unique

story. Please learn more and support with your donations

by visiting my website: www.wilfordaugustus.uk

In close, please feel free to send me invitations by

contacting Chesham Town Council or by sending an

email to mayor@chesham.gov.uk.

Chesham Town Council

Chesham Town Council came into existence in 1974

and is the parish authority for the town of Chesham.

The population of the town is 23,056 and there are 8,176

households (2020 census), making it the largest town in

the Chiltern district. Chesham Town Council’s mission

statement is: ‘To improve the quality of life of the

residents of Chesham.’

The Council is comprised of 19 Members who are

elected for a period of 4 years. The last election was

held in May 2021, and a full list of Councillors is shown

on page 9. Town councillors are unpaid and do not

receive any attendance allowance (with the exception of

the Town Mayor), for their duties which they undertake

on a purely voluntary basis. This includes representing

the Council at a number of charitable/ outside bodies.

Each May the Council also elects a Town Mayor (and

deputy) to serve for a period of 1 year, who also

undertakes the position of Chairman of The Council.

Councillors are supported by the Town Council team of

officers based at The Town Hall.

Councillors and officers of Chesham Town Council

attend committees that cover various aspects of its work

and governance and which meet regularly to discuss and

decide on local issues. A list of these committees, dates,

agendas and minutes are available on the Council

website. We welcome and encourage local residents to

attend. At full Council Meetings a 15 minute period of

public question time allows the public to ask questions

on any issue related to Chesham that is important to

them.

Chesham Town Council has six strategic aims:

1. To preserve the unique identity of Chesham by

promoting its heritage and environment, in

consultation with the citizens of Chesham

2. To promote and deliver climate change emergency

initiatives that make a real difference to the local

environment, in partnership with local groups.

3. To ensure residents enjoy high quality social,

recreational, and cultural facilities by improving them

in accordance with the desires expressed by residents

4. To promote the economic vitality of Chesham by

encouraging employment opportunities, housing and

business facilities that respect the Area of Outstanding

Natural Beauty, and ensure that Chesham continues to

be a destination of choice

5. To help

create a

socially

inclusive

and caring

community,

which embraces all its residents equally, seeking to

develop their well-being, knowledge, understanding and

mutual co-operation.

6. To ensure that the money entrusted to us by the

residents of Chesham is properly managed and spent

efficiently and effectively on achieving the strategic

aims of the Council.

In line with these strategic aims the Council is currently

working on a variety of projects, in partnership with

stakeholders and local organisations who share our

vision. Here are a few of them:

• Chesham Neighbourhood Plan (CNP)

• Chesham Local Walking and Cycling Infrastructure

Plan (LCWIP)

• Chesham Moor Gym and Swim development

• Play Areas

• High Street Events

• Town Partners Scheme

The Councillors, The Town Council Team and local

organisations are working in partnership to develop

these projects and achieve the best they can for

Chesham residents.

Visit Chesham and Villages – for locals & visitors

Chesham, as we all know, is in a pretty special position

having a London Underground station, a friendly

community, and beautiful villages and countryside around.

The Visit Chesham and Villages project is the

brainchild of Chesham Society and Chesham Connect,

to showcase this wonderful town and surrounding area,

attract visitors and encourage local tourism and pride in

the area as a destination.

It centres around the website visitchesham.org.uk –

an idea that came to fruition through the funding and

support of Chesham and Villages Community Board.

This brings together three organisations working for the

good of the community and its future with a not-forprofit

project aiming to profit Chesham and the

surrounding area as a whole.

The project covers the seven parishes of the Chesham

and Villages Community Board. These are Chesham,

Ashley Green, Chartridge, Chenies, Cholesbury-cum-St

Leonards (Hawridge & Cholesbury), Latimer & Ley Hill

and The Lee.

A specially-commissioned video was produced by a

local company which has proved very popular – it shows

the Metropolitan line train travelling through the

countryside to reach a bustling Chesham town centre

with scenes of the villages too.

The website lists the key events in town and villages

seen to be of interest to visitors and residents alike. This

growing number of events organised by various

organisations, often alongside Chesham Town Council,

have increased awareness of the area bringing more

participation and business to the high street and villages.

The villages have individual pages on the website with

an overview of places to visit and enjoy. Also a highlight

of the website is that it brings together many of the

wonderful walks that have been developed – for

example the town history walks or pub to pub walks are

a great way to discover new routes and views around

Chesham, as well as maybe a new pub!

We hope the website is useful to you as a central place

to see so much of what is great about Chesham and

villages. Give us a like on Facebook ... follow us on

Instagram, it’s all intended for the positivity of Chesham

and the surrounding area.

COPAG

(Chesham Over 50’s Positive Action Group)

COPAG is a locally based community group for those

aged 50 years and above. It is part of The Bucks Older

Peoples Action Group (BOPAG), an independent, nonpolitical,

voluntary organisation made up of groups and

individuals around the county and further afield.

The A in COPAG stands for action and this is where

COPAG can really make a difference. If you have an

issue that needs tackling, and don't know who can help

you, COPAG can point you in the right direction. We

listen to our members and take any worries or concerns

you may have to the relevant body or council, etc. The

organisation has been at the forefront of all major issues

of concern to the older person in Chesham, making sure

their needs are considered. We are the voice of the older

people and are not afraid to stand up for ourselves!

We currently have members of all ages, both men,

women, singles and couples, many who have been part

of the group for some years. Membership is just £10 a

year which includes the COPAG Chronicle, a magazine

containing news, views and features relevant to life in

Chesham as an over 50-year-old.

As a group we love to socialise and listen to some

very interesting speakers e.g. charities, experts in health

and wellbeing and we hosted a remarkable speaker who

has a list of over 200 talks and speaks without notes.

We also enjoy listening to music and have welcomed

entertainment from jazz bands, a ukulele group and

students from Chesham Grammar singing at our

Christmas party.

In addition to our monthly meetings we also arrange

a day trip to various locations of interest once a year,

previously visiting the Houses of Parliament.

COPAG are a Chesham Town Council Town Partner

and are regularly featured in the local press, regarded as

a credible voice on behalf of the older person in

Chesham.

We meet at Chesham Town Hall every 3rd Friday of

the month between 10-12pm. It is a very central location

with easy and disabled access and facilities. Many of us

walk to these meetings or contact Dial A Ride but

disabled and general parking is also available in Catlings

car park where the Town Hall is situated.

We are a lovely group who are always welcoming new

members. If you would like to find out more

information, have a chat or indeed join in, please

contact our Chair Barbara Richardson on 01494

Chesham Museum

In June 1981 Councillor Arnold Baines delivered a

spontaneous and passionate plea for the creation of a

Town Museum. This was at a concert to raise money to

restore an 18th century picture of the town now known

as the town picture. At the time, Arnold Baines was

Chairman of the Trustees of the Chesham Town Picture

Fund, known as the Francis Trust. The Town Picture is

now available to view in the reception of the Chesham

Town Council building.

It was decided that the Town Picture should become

the focal point of a Chesham Town Museum and, with

that, people began to think about a premises for a

museum.

successful and well attended until

June 2017 when a change in

circumstances meant it was sadly

forced to close its doors.

In 1985 Mora Walker (latterly President of Chesham

Museum), on the Town Council, joined a working party

and clear guidelines were established for the project.

In 2004 the first premises for the museum opened in

the stables behind the Griffin, formerly the Gamekeepers

Lodge, in Bellingdon Road. This was implemented and

coordinated by Mora Walker and the then Landlord of

the Griffin, Shay Comaskey. In 2009 the museum

relocated to 15 Market Square, Chesham and was very

Since then the museum has maintained a strong online

presence through its website and social media channels,

helping to provide a connection to its audiences and users

both local, and visitors and researchers from across the

world. Most recently the museum management and

volunteers have worked hard to raise funds and volunteer

support to develop a new website. This brings the best of its

exhibitions, collections, events and opportunities for the

world to enjoy and engage with the town’s rich history. The

museum stall actively attends the monthly Chesham Local

Produce Market as well as a number of local fairs and fetes.

The museum is a registered charity and aims to

educate visitors about the rich history of Chesham and

its past inhabitants. The museum collection primarily

deals with things that are associated with Chesham, but

also the outer-lying areas: Asheridge, Ashley Green,

Ballinger, Bellingdon, Chartridge, Hyde Heath, Latimer,

Lee Common.

Please feel free to contact the museum

for any further information or with enquiries at:

www.cheshammuseum.org.uk;

www.facebook.com/CheshamMuseum;

Twitter: @CheshamMuseum;

Instagram: @cheshammuseum

Please note that whilst we endeavour to answer all of your questions

about the history of Chesham, all museum staff are volunteers and

therefore have a limited amount of time to research enquiries. If you

have an enquiry that requires extensive research you may be asked

to donate £25 to the museum to cover volunteer time and materials.

Walkers are Welcome

© Chilterns Conservation Board

‘Walkers are Welcome’ (WaW) is a national organisation

that seeks to boost our wellbeing by walking and also by

supporting the local economy by encouraging tourism.

It is aimed to cover all levels of walking from the lunch

time stroll to strenuous long-distance exercise. WaW

membership is open to towns, parishes and districts.

The 90 plus members stretch from Cornwall to the

Shetland Isles and from Pembrokeshire to Norfolk, but

there are only two of them in the Chilterns at present –

Chesham and Henley-on-Thames.

In 2006 Chesham was one of many towns across the

country seeking revitalisation, as a consequence of a

nationwide process known as Market Town Health

Checks. One of the outcomes of that was the idea of

publishing walking routes in and around the town.

Suitable routes were sketched out and a small committee

formed. The routes were formalised and funding

obtained to print walk leaflets. These consisted of walks

in town and others stretching out north, south, east and

west as well as a walk following the natural boundary

of Chesham.

In 2009, the group decided to apply to join the

national WaW movement. This meant collecting 500

signatures from local residents to show community

backing and gaining the support of the Town Council,

which was readily given. The leaflets were rebranded

and downloadable versions produced which can be

accessed from the Chesham Town Council website. The

support of businesses in the High Street was sought, and

many now display WaW stickers.

Subsequently Chesham WaW

produced a series of leaflets called

Station to Station Walks, encouraging

visitors to alight at railway stations readily accessible

from London and walk to Chesham Station. Another

leaflet outlined a route linking producers and providers

of local food and drink. WaW have also worked with the

Chilterns Conservation Board to update the 10-mile

walk along the River Chess with new interpretation

boards, signage and footpath improvements.

This year, Chesham WaW supported by Chesham

Museum, will be launching a series of 4 downloadable

walks which will guide people along routes with

stopping places showing details of the historic

significance of various locations. Three routes are within

Chesham, but the fourth follows the life and death of the

local martyr, Thomas Harding, who was burned at the

stake in 1532 for his non-conformist beliefs.

WaW aims to cater for all kinds of walking and the

Chesham group are hoping to incorporate routes

suitable for the less able. A few years ago, in conjunction

with the Disabled Ramblers and the Chiltern Society

Path Maintenance Volunteers, they installed accessible

gates in the Royal Forestry Society’s Hockeridge and

Pancake Woods near Berkhamsted.

Chesham WAW has led walks in conjunction with

Heritage Weekends and with St Mary’s Church Beating

the Bounds. We also advertise walks with notice boards

at Chesham Station and in Water Meadow Car Park

where most of the walks start from. You can access these

walks from the following websites: chesham.gov.ukwalkersarewelcome;

chilternsociety.gov.uk;

walkingworld.com.

Working with Chesham Environmental Group, we

aim to help keep footpaths open and well maintained.

Would you be interested in getting involved with your

community and sharing your knowledge of the beautiful

countryside around Chesham? We are looking to

welcome a couple of new members to join our

committee. Further details are available from Phil Folly

at postmanfolly@gmail.com or Andrew Clark at

Climate Change – Do Your Bit

Human activities are estimated to have caused

approximately 1.0°C of global warming above preindustrial

levels to date. This warming will persist for

centuries to millennia, and will continue to cause

further long-term changes in the climate system, such as

sea level rises.

In September 2018, the UN Secretary General stated

that humanity had to start making radical cuts in fossil

fuel emissions within two years, to avoid facing potential

extinction. In the same year, a report of the

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change stated that

carbon emissions need to be cut by nearly half by 2030,

to have a two thirds chance of avoiding temperatures

catastrophically rising above 1.5C.

In 2019, Chesham Town Council decided to act too and

declared a climate emergency. It committed to reducing the

negative impact of council services on the environment,

with an aspiration to be carbon neutral by 2030. To help us

achieve this aim we commissioned an Eco Audit and have

been implementing the recommendations.

heating zones have been installed in the Town Hall to

better manage room temperatures and reduce heating

and lighting waste. The majority of our lighting across

our buildings has been switched to LEDs, with staff

encouraged to make maximum use of natural light when

practical. We have swapped to a green energy tariff for

the majority of our buildings with plans to switch the

remaining buildings over. We use 100% recycled paper

in all parts of the council and where possible have

paper-free offices.

To help manage our green waste, we have invested in

a mobile biochipper. This rapidly produces compost for

use around the town’s green spaces. We also use this in

January each year when residents can bring their

Christmas trees to us for bio-composting. We have

changed our mowing regime for many of our grass

verges and open spaces, enabling the grass and wild

flowers to grow and set seed, providing pollen for

insects and a good habitat for wildlife. Planting of

native tree saplings has taken place in Lowndes Park and

Codmore Field and invertebrate habitats created at Coop

and Nashleigh Fields. A full ecological survey and

eDNA analysis was done on Skottowes Pond, with a

chemical and volume analysis of the silt. These will

inform a restoration project for the pond and we are

working on a strategic masterplan for the whole of

Lowndes Park. This will be the basis for its ecological

management in the future.

We are keen for residents to join us in working

towards making Chesham as a whole carbon neutral.

As an example, there are thousands of private gardens in

Chesham where we as owners/gardeners can help to

make a huge difference. Gardening organically, using

peat-free compost, planting trees and looking after

hedgehogs are just a few ways to combat the climate and

ecological emergency. There are many more tips and

ideas on our website, ranging from reducing food waste

to saving water to help you make environmentally

sustainable choices both outdoors and in.

Elgiva for

everyone

Large enough to impress but small

enough to care, The Elgiva is your

friendly, neighbourhood theatre in the

centre of the market town of Chesham.

Built on the cornerstone of

community, our ethos of Elgiva for

Everyone runs through everything we

do. Our staff are knowledgeable,

friendly, passionate about the performing arts and

committed to our ethos. We also benefit from an

amazing and committed group of volunteers who are

eager to help us bring our programme of events to life.

We have a 300 seated/400 standing capacity theatre

that boasts an exciting and wide-ranging programme of

professional productions, including; top comedy acts,

musicals, ballet/dance, classical, pop and rock music

concerts, a professional pantomime and eclectic range of

movies from blockbusters to arthouse. Take in a

production at The Elgiva and you will enjoy Dolby

Digital cinema, an all-LED house rig and Vista by

Chroma-Q lighting.

But The Elgiva is far more than just a theatre. We are

home to workshops and community events for all ages,

and our Christmas Craft Fair is an extremely popular

fixture in the run up to the festive season. We also

screen ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ every December, an Elgiva

tradition loved by staff and visitors alike!

The Elgiva boasts a resident orchestra, the English

Sinfonia, a dedicated exhibition space that showcases

everything from textiles to fine art and we are also home

to the Chiltern Film Society. Our vibrant Youth Theatre

offers younger locals the chance to hone their skills on a

professional stage, as well as offering behind-the-scenes

experiences in lighting, sound design and staging. We

also offer apprenticeships in Theatre Administration

and Theatre Technical Skills.

We welcome amateur productions too. Whether it’s a

local school’s end of term celebration, a local theatre

group, or an extravaganza by one of the many

performing arts clubs, we are ready to help give every

production that big stage feeling.

The Elgiva’s Live Screening programme offers a very

special evening out; featuring the best of the West End

but without the journey. We screen productions from

the Royal Opera House, National Theatre, RSC and

Glyndebourne and make the experience extra-special

with live foyer music and a welcome drink beforehand.

Our onsite café, Café Encore, is always a welcoming

space, whether you’re taking advantage of our free WiFi

to make a change from working at home, hosting a

meeting or meeting friends for one of our famous (and

scrumptious!) afternoon teas. The café serves a wide

range of beverages, delicious lunches and homemade

cakes, and in the evening, you can enjoy a drink (soft, or

slightly stronger) at our well-stocked theatre bar, or pop

to our kiosk for snacks and delicious ice cream.

The theatre is also available for hire for public and

private events such as weddings and conferences, and

has several flexible spaces, free Wi-Fi and a pay-anddisplay

car park right outside.

Please do visit our website elgiva.com or our social

channels to find out more about us; we’d love to

welcome you to our theatre whether it’s for a coffee, a

film, a show, a workshop, an exhibition, a community

event... whatever you stop in for, we’ll make you

very welcome.

The Oasis Partnership

in Chesham

The Oasis Partnership continues to provide a wide range

of support services to the residents of Chesham and its

surrounding villages. Last year we engaged over 700

clients, participating in one or more of our weekly

courses and activities linked to our Routes to Work

Project, Social Prescribing Project, Media Launchpad

Project, and our Lottery funded, Friends2Gether

Intergenerational Project. We are also a part of the One

Recovery Bucks, offering substance use treatment

services from our Lewins Yard base.

Each of our projects offer a wide range of activities

aimed at improving Health and Wellbeing that anyone

can get involved with. We are always listening and are

keen to see what new activities we can add to our menu

of opportunities. Current activities include:

Employment Training, Education advice, Mindfulness,

Podcasting, Music, Production, Song, Digital Skills,

Cooking groups, Yoga, Sewing group, Arts and Crafts,

Hording group and Walking groups.

Over the past 3 years, Joanna Hill has provided us

with an opportunity to develop a range of new projects

and services, from the beautiful Bagnall Building on

waterside, allowing us to establish a service that has

been developed with community, and designed to meet

local needs.

Our desire to develop youth focussed services

remains in line with our Charity’s Early Intervention

and Prevention ethos, however our current focus is on

developing support for people 18+ and enhancing our

existing provision.

Bringing Health and Wellbeing to the High Street –

supporting the Opportunities Bucks agenda.

Owing to circumstances out of our control, we are now

relocating our services from the Bagnall Building to our

new forever home, right at the heart of the community

in Chesham High Street.

This move will enable us to have an easily accessible

base, helping us to reach and engage more people -

particularly those travelling from the surrounding

villages. Our new building will enable us to advertise

27

and promote our services effectively,ensuing we reach

out to all in our community, whilst building

collaborations and joint ventures with other

organisations to enhance what we can offer.

Moving our services into the high street is one of our

strategic goals and we are extremely pleased that

Chesham will become our flagship town, helping us

meet our Charity objects.

Not sure how the Oasis Partnership can help you?

Our free and easy to access Social Prescribing Service,

which offers a friendly and structured approach to

option of a support plan to suit your individual

requirements. Find out more at:

potential underlying causes.

Yoga – Mindful Practice for Body and Mind

Everything changes (as it always does). We live in a

world that is changing all around us. We’re changing too.

The body changes with time, with seasons and is

affected by what we do. The mind is always moving,

thinking or being bombarded with information!

Yoga uses the idea of change; utilising the body,

breathing and the mind to move towards what is

positive for us. Within the constant of change, even

directed change, there is also a need to find something

stiller and steadier. Then, we can find moments of being

in our awareness, when the mind stops taking charge

and we find our still centre.

We intuitively realise that being mindful is helpful

for finding our centre. The mindful

focus in yoga is a way to connect

body and mind, to connect to our

awareness and to connect with the

process of positive change.

Could you be a Chesham shopkeeper?

At the beginning of 2022, in the wake of the covid

pandemic, I took a giant leap and opened an art gallery in

Chesham High Street. Coming from a long line of

shopkeepers, I really enjoy serving customers, chatting to

people from all walks of life, and offering them locallymade

art, crafts and gifts that aren’t easily found elsewhere.

With the town centre sitting in the bottom of a steep

valley, the High Street is too narrow for modern traffic

to run through. Berkhamsted and Amersham are

probably three times as wide, so Chesham suits its

pedestrianisation well and there is a special sense of

community spirit, especially on a market day or at one

of the ever-increasing celebrations or festivals.

Many of the shop premises date back several

centuries, with oak beams, old fireplaces and small,

uneven rooms which can be rejected by mainstream

retailers. The buildings are perfect for quirky,

independent, family-run outlets, such as our wonderful

homemade-chocolate shop and refill project at the

Gatehouse, the old-fashioned tea room and amazing

music venue at Francis Yard, the jewellers amongst the

tiny buildings of Lums Yard and in the High Street and

the little music shop overlooking the historic Broadway

for example.

How lucky we are still to have an independent bakery

(established 1837), a hardware shop, a butchers, familyrun

stationers, printworks and art shop, a brilliant

second-hand book shop, picture framers, shoe

retailers/repairers, pet shop, camera shop and so forth.

What a terrible loss to Chesham if they ever closed. Also,

I wonder if anyone has ever formally thanked our Polish

community for setting up some of the most tasteful cafés

and restaurants in the town centre in recent years.

Bear in mind that many of the smaller premises are

exempt from business rates, then search for a good and

honest landlord with a reasonable rent, bring your

passion and a willingness to work hard, and you could

enjoy a sociable and rewarding lifestyle selling products

or services you believe in.
