Great & Little Kimble cum Marsh Parish Council

Great & Little Kimble cum Marsh Parish is set in the beautiful Vale of Aylesbury at the foot of The Chiltern Hills in Buckinghamshire.

Each and everyone of our councillors welcome you to our rural parish. We are situated on the northern edge of the Wycombe District, with rich lower farm land to the North rising into part of the magnificent Chiltern Hills to the South.

The 394 homes are well spread across 1,212 hectares. The main settlements are Smoky Row, Clanking, Marsh, Kimblewick, Little Kimble and Great Kimble.

The southern part of the parish is within the Chilterns Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty and The Green Belt – an area representing nearly 25% of the parish. The rest is most attractive too, and we strive to keep it that way.

The National Trust owns the land around Pulpit Hill. There is a network of public footpaths and bridleways from which to explore the varied countryside within the parish.

The population is growing, with many young families now taking the numbers to just over 1,000 (988 in the 2001 Census).

Residents reminded of upcoming suspension for garden waste subscriptions

Buckinghamshire Council is reminding subscribers to its garden waste service that collections will soon be suspended for the usual 6-week winter period. This annual suspension takes place during the winter when garden waste is at a minimum.

Garden waste collections are suspended between Monday 15 December 2025 and Friday 23 January 2026, with the service resuming from Monday 26 January 2026 on usual collection days.

Ade Osibogun, Buckinghamshire Council’s Cabinet Member for Climate Change and Environment, said:

“Our garden waste suspension dates are set out to match the period when garden waste is typically at its lowest. During the suspension period, we carry out other tasks including staff training and redirect crews to allow for the increased amount of general waste and recycling over the Christmas holidays.

“Residents who need to dispose of garden waste during the suspension period can still do so at a Household Recycling Centre free of charge.”

To find out which days our Household Recycling Centres are open and further details of what can and cannot be taken to a centre, visit: www.buckinghamshire.gov.uk/waste-and-recycling

Garden waste collected from homes across Buckinghamshire or taken to Household Recycling Centres is processed locally into high-quality compost. Residents can buy Community Compost at all Household Recycling Centres. Proceeds from the sales support good causes in Buckinghamshire.

Buckinghamshire Council to host Remembrance Sunday service in Aylesbury

Buckinghamshire Council’s Remembrance Sunday wreath-laying service will take place in Aylesbury’s Market Square on 9 November 2025, starting at 10:45am. This continues the tradition of holding a Remembrance Day wreath-laying service in Aylesbury, the county town.

Chairman of Buckinghamshire Council, Cllr Sarfaraz Khan Raja, reflected on the importance of the occasion:

“Remembrance Sunday is a solemn and powerful moment for us to honour the courage and sacrifice of our armed forces, past and present. It is a time to reflect on the cost of conflict and to express our enduring gratitude to those who gave their lives in service to our country. Their legacy lives on in the freedoms we enjoy today, and we remain forever in their debt. I encourage everyone in our community to join us in marking this significant day.”

His Majesty's Lord-Lieutenant of Buckinghamshire will be in attendance as will the Mayor of Aylesbury, MP for Aylesbury and the Royal British Legion. Military and uniformed organisations will also be taking part.

The service is being led by Father Doug Zimmerman with Mr Phil Turner, President of the Aylesbury branch of the Royal British Legion, reciting the Exhortation and Kohima epitaph. The Last Post will be sounded, then all attendees will observe a two-minute silence to honour the fallen, followed by the bugle call Reveille, familiar hymns and readings by other dignitaries.

Residents and visitors are warmly invited to attend this meaningful event and pay tribute to our fallen heroes.

In addition to the service in Aylesbury, local events will be held across Buckinghamshire. For information on observances in your area, please check your local community website.
