Unfortunately, due to some play equipment being unsafe, the play area will remain shut until further notice.

We are working to resolve this situation as quickly as possible

Wigginton Parish Council

The 207 Bus Route is back, running each Friday, after being suspended due to Covid 19.  

Want to get involved in Village Life?

There are often lots of little jobs and some bigger projects within the village that could do with a few more hands to help! This could be helping at the firework display, freshening up the village hall, helping dig a bog in the Rec, or getting involved in many of the activities that help make Wigginton the special place it is. 

We recognise that sometimes it's hard to know exactly what's going on in the village, or who to contact if you're interested in helping out. Wigginton Helping hands aims to help with that, by creating an email distribution list which will be used by the various working parties in the village to let you know when they could do with a hand. If they are short on volunteers for an activity or event, then they'll send an email to the Helping Hands distribution list, and if you're able to help then just reply to let hem know!

There's absolutely no commitment to signing up, or replying to any emails you receive - but if you think you may like to help out with any future events, why not sign up and get the details sent directly to you?

Are you a plumber who can help with a leaky tap, or a carpenter who can fix a sticky door? Looking to the future could you help to organise a fete, put on a fundraiser in the Village Hall or have you got any ideas for the village, to join the Wigginton community together? All these things need volunteers and working parties to get off the ground so please sign up if you can spare any time or have a useful skill to offer…...

....You may even have fun doing it!! 

To sign up please email: wiggintonhelpinghands@gmail.com

The Oddy 2021

Dacorum have been holding a consultation on their new New Dacorum Local Plan, which details their strategy for growth in the coming years.

The proposed developments don't affect Wigginton directly, but it does propose substantial increases in the number of houses in Tring, primarily built on Green Belt land. Development on this scale would have an impact on traffic and our local services, which could impact Wigginton Residents. Whilst the parish council agrees with the broad principles behind the plan, we have concerns over the way they are being implemented, and have submitted our concerns via the consultation document. 

You can read our full response by clicking here

Our concerns were shared by other parish councils in Dacorum, and as such we co-signed a joint letter from other town and parish councils detailing our shared concerns.

Wigginton Parish Council Community Support During The Coronavirus Outbreak

In response to the Coronavirus outbreak, Wigginton Parish Council has instituted a community support channel to help the Wigginton community through the crisis.

We have established a group of volunteers who are ready to help people who are ill or need to be in isolation.

If you need help please telephone 07555 662654 or email wiggintonhelp@gmail.com

We are particularly keen to provide support for people who are not able to be supported by friends and family.

We expect that the most important area of support will help with shopping for food and other essentials.

The Village Shop is developing a home delivery service that will be operational soon.

The Village Shop website is at http://wiggintonshop.org.uk/ Tel: 01442 891061

Volunteers will also be able to visit local supermarkets and pharmacies to collect food and medicines.

Other support areas may be: 

     - Help with children's school work online or by phone

     - Someone to talk to

If you need support just phone or email and we will put you in touch with a volunteer who can help.

If you would like to join the volunteer group either phone us or send an email giving your name, contact details, roughly where you live in the village and what help/support you are able to give 

Many thanks!
