APRIL 1992 PLANNING CONSENT PASSED FOR A NEW CUL DE SAC ROAD.
Some 27 years since completion. Research Note. In March 2021 I asked Ronnie and Liz Lewin to give an update on life in Hambe Close. Liz sent the following reply.
2021. LETTER FROM HAMBE CLOSE from Liz Lewin
Hambe Close is a joyful place in which to live. The nine houses are carefully placed so that they offer as much privacy as possible. We are particularly lucky to live in the corner which gives us the advantage of a garden that goes round the house on three sides.
The houses were built in 1993. Only one of the houses is owned by the original residents – no.2 Anne and Steve Wilkinson. We moved here from Beaconsfield in 2003.
At the moment there are two houses with school age children and one with a son at university.
During our time here there has always been at least one family with school age children.
Ronnie and I are the oldest (in age) residents and we feel particularly well supported by all our neighbours. If I needed help I wouldn’t hesitate to knock on any door.
It is a sociable community and we have an annual Christmas get – together and a summer BBQ. We definitely feel a part of a larger community but that is mainly because we are involved with some village organisations.
Please let us know if we can give you any more information.
All good wishes, Ronnie and Liz
Research Note. Liz Lewin's letter was like a breath of fresh air after the uproar that went on all through the planning stages of the development of Hambe Close. For more about this click Palmer and Harvey site
