Launch Date Confirmed

Saturday 20th September had been confirmed at the Launch date for Plastic Bag Free Chesham.

We are pleased to say that there are at least thirty shops in town who hope to be part of our launch date.

We will be making a splash in the town by taking a stall in Market Square.

Come and see us and try our tombola, learn a bit about composting, take part in the Mors Bag Pod at Blue Haze, see samples of the Chesham Town cotton and cornstarch bags, or just to have a chat.

If you want to get more involved please get in touch with us.

The Story So Far

To find out what we have achieved and what we are planning, please see our About page.

Chesham lies on the River Chess in the South Buckinghamshire. Set in the Chiltern Hills, Chesham still has many of the beech trees that gave rise to its brush making industry. Once famous for beer, brushes, boots and watercress, Chesham is now generally a commuter town but still boasts a good number of unique shops.

With a population of more than 20,000 comprising about 8,000 households and over 100 shops in the High Street and Market Square - there are a lot of plastic bags in Chesham.

In March 2005, Chesham became the first Fair Trade town in Bucks. Let's make it the first Bucks town to go plastic bag free.

Take a look around this site and get to know the plastic facts.
