Watlington railway station celebrates the 50th anniversary of reopening on 5th May 2025.  
  The Fen Line Users Association were at Watlington station from 9am to 1pm on Monday 5th May chatting with passengers and handing out some souvenir postcards and leaflets. At 11am Kate Carpenter, who helped reopen the station with fundraising and organising cleaning parties, cut a ceremonial cake, followed by the unveiling of commemorative plaques on both platforms.

Nature Watch !! 
The Gossip  have started a nature watch page, to publish any nature news in the parish - such as birds or other animals seen, any interesting flowers or other nature events. If you are interested in being a local recorder, why not send an email to [email protected]. We already have 3 people showing interest, so please do get in touch if you want to help.
I am sure you all want to preserve wild life but the habitat is decreasing. To help preserve wild spaces sign a petition to the government, https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/254607
