Competitive Hill Climb events were held on the dirt and gravel roads of the Estate each year from 1928 to 1935 when the RAC refused to grant a competition licence for further events due to concern for spectator safety. The events were organised by the Bugatti Owners’ Club (BOC) and the Middlesex County Automobile Club (MCAC).

To mark the 80th anniversary of the last Hill Climb on the Estate, the Chalfont St Peter Feast Day, the Chalfont St Peter History Society and the Chalfont Heights Estate are jointly arranging a Commemorative Parade of cars from the 1930s to drive along the route of the course and through the Village to a display area on Golf Hill Common. The parade will take place on the morning of the Village Feast Day, Saturday 27th June 2015.

The parade is open to owners of cars manufactured before 1940. For further details please contact [email protected].   Also see www.feastofstpeter.org.uk

Further details of the parade will be published on this website during May.

Chiltern Hill bridge has been closed today

Posted on: February 10th, 2014 by Alan Lane

Chiltern Hill bridge has been closed today, Monday 10th February, to enable the telephone mast to be removed.  We received no notice of this closure from either Bucks County Council or from Galliford Try, the contractors for o2.  The closure is for today only, but the contractors expect there to be traffic lights on the bridge for several days thereafter.  They also expect a further closure next week for installation of a new mast but are not able to say when that will be.

Chiltern Hill – Update

Posted on: January 6th, 2014 by Tickencote

Temporary closure of Chiltern Hill below the Island

Thames Water’s contractor arrived on Monday, 6th January to carry out remedial work on the sewer below the island on Chiltern Hill. Chiltern Hill will be closed at some point either this or next week and we will update the website and email residents once we have further information on the works from Thames Water.

Road subsidence in Lewis Lane

An area of subsidence has developed in the road surface outside Overcombe in Lewis Lane, it is on the driving line but can, with care, be avoided. Thames Water re investigated the road surface and intend to come back within the next 12 to 15 days, they have advised that us that the sewer drain is structurally fit.

If there is further subsidence before remedial work can be carried out, we may have to consider closing Lewis Lane above Bochym.  In the meantime, please be very careful.
