This follows many years of reports of unsafe driving, pavement parking and speeding across Bletchley, which culminated in a serious road incident involving two children who were seriously injured on Monday 18th September by Lennox Road.

If you could spare a few hours every month to help make our streets safer for all residents, and in particularly children, please contact leonresidentsassociation@gmail.com with your street name so we can direct you to your nearest Resident Association group and get you set up on the team.

The Blue Lagoon is a former brick works site that opened in 1929. The clay pits on the site flooded in 1947, and later they were filled and landscaped. The site officially opened in 1994 to the public.

The Blue Lagoon covers 116 acres and is rich in wildlife. You might see:  Badgers  Bats  Grass snakes  Great crested newts  butterflies, damselflies and dragonflies  And over a dozen bird species.

There is constant footfall at The Blue Lagoon from a number of users including dog walkers, divers, open water swimmers and those who just want some time out and enjoy the fauna and flora. There are some issues with littering especially over the summer months so local residents hold regular litter picks and walks around the nature reserve.
