Bourne End
Bourne End is a village mostly in the parish of Wooburn, but partially in the parish of Little Marlow, in Buckinghamshire, England. It is about 5 miles (8 km) south-east of High Wycombe and 3 miles (5 kilometres) eastern of Marlow, near the border with Berkshire and near where the River Wye empties into the Thames. Bourne End lies between the M4 and M40 motorways, and preserves its railway station on the Maidenhead to Marlow branch line. With rail and roadway access to London, it has become a prominent area for commuters to live. Every one of the mills along the Wye Valley have currently been closed down as well as destroyed, Jacksons Mill in Furlong Road being the last (in Bourne End) in the late 1980s. These have been replaced by residences, workplaces or industrial estates, which has resulted in the extension of the town as a work centre. Bourne End remains an unique negotiation, although the continued house-building over the past century implies it is endangered by the obvious bow development, with to High Wycombe. In 1997, when the Neighborhood Plan was in prep work, the Homeowners Organizations of Bourne End as well as Wooburn effectively lobbied to stop Slate Meadow (the field which divides the two negotiations) being assigned for housing for the time being. Various other primitive land around the town looks most likely to continue to be so, as it has actually been defined as Green Belt, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, or a combination of the 3. Partially, Bourne End is surrounded by farmland. Somewhat further away, Cliveden and Hedsor overlook the village from higher ground to the south east. Bourne End maintains many businesses and solutions whilst still keeping a village-like environment. There is a Community Centre in the centre of the town, with a big hall, function areas and also a bar, which is open for participant's use. It is, for many, considered the focal point of town activity. In the early 2000s, a Twinning Association was developed, as well as ultimately Octeville-sur-Mer, a community on the north coastline of France, was picked to be its twin community. Frequent occasions are held by participants of the organization to promote as well as enhance the partnership in between the two settlements.
