Added 4th December
The footpath on the village green is currently cordoned off due to a burst drainage pipe below.
We have been told that the work to repair this will take place on Monday 9th December.
The works will require the parking bays on the north side of the High Street to be suspended and cordoned off to allow traffic lights to be installed. The barriers will be put in place on Sunday 8th December.
Please do not remove the barriers. This is essential maintenance work to improve the drainage in the village centre and to help to reduce the risk of flooding.
Thank you for your co-operation in this matter.

The Fawsett Trust (Registered charity 201150)
In November Fawsett Trust invites elderly, long term residents of Chalfont St Giles to apply for support in the run up to Christmas; Word Document Application form here, PDF Version here. Please share this with anyone whom it may help in these hard times. We provide vouchers to those applying who are over 66. The vouchers distributed are redeemable in exchange for goods until Christmas at the village shops in Chalfont St Giles (including Three Households), so there is a double benefit for the village as a whole by supporting both individuals and shops. We are grateful to the shopkeepers for participating.
The income to enable this comes from some dividend income supplemented by donations from local organisations, such as the Village Show, Helping Hands , Denham, Gerrards Cross and The Chalfonts Community Board (part of Buckinghamshire Council) and from kind individuals. These financial contributions are very welcome and will be faithfully applied.
Although the scale of the Fawsett Trust is small, the vouchers seem to make a considerable difference to the recipients and are gratefully received. In these modern times it is, perhaps, sad that there are folk in the village to whom a relatively small amount can make a real difference at Christmas.
The trustees are established as the Rector of the Parish, two Parish Council nominees and two others.
The Trust Will Be Delighted to Receive Donations Towards This Work.
Please contact for further information about vouchers or donations:
Rev. Dan Beesley at The Rectory, 2 Deanway,
Mrs. Valerie Bayly-Jones at Russets, Back Lane (Tel: 01494 873776) or
Richard Bolton richardheatherlea534@gmail.com, the Treasurer, at Heatherlea, Gorelands Lane (Tel: 01494 870534).
