The weather may have given up on summer, but Bucks Councils' 'Summer of Stories' is still going strong!
The Council along with Bucks Culture have been working together to create a Summer of Stories, focusing on a theme of ‘stories of happiness’, and there's still time for you to get involved.
There has been lots of things going on around the county, including the ever popular Whizzfizzfest.
But there are still some fun pop up stalls to enjoy,

Buckinghamshire Council’s Cabinet Member for Culture and Leisure, Clive Harriss, said:
“The Summer of Stories has been a great way of engaging with the wider community and encouraging people to come together and share good news during what has been a difficult 18 months. I’m sure the artists have heard plenty of heart-warming stories about Buckinghamshire and it’s residents, and I look forward to seeing the final structure created by the artists in the Autumn.”
The Aylesbury Arm has been closed to navigation since mid-June due to low water levels, and now a Canal & River Trust spokesperson has confirmed to Bucks Radio, “Water is now being restored to this pound after an issue caused by interference with lock apparatus."
