Stock photo A petition to save a rehoming centre that has left pet lovers devastated has been launched - as the charity that runs it reveals it needs to make £1 million of savings. The Blue Cross Rehoming Centre in Lewknor has apparently been proposed for closure , according to a petition set up and signed by more than 2,300 people. The centre opened in 2005 after relocating from Chalfont St Peter and can look after 24 dogs and 40 cats. According to the Blue Cross charity, 110 employees are at risk of redundancy and talks are ongoing. A spokesman said the charity has suffered a challenging period because of the coronavirus pandemic and savings of £1 million need to be made this year.
Picture: Google Flats could be built on the site of a former village pub. The former Waggon & Horses pub in Copthall Lane, Chalfont St Peter, was served with a notice for demolition on Valentine’s Day in 2019, with villagers pleading to save the historic watering hole. In a desperate bid to save the building, which is believed to date back to at least the 1820s, Chalfont St Peter Parish Council asked Historic England to consider listing it – but their request was turned down. Now, Ekrem Mahmutaj, from Luton, has submitted an application to build six flats on the site. The design and access statement says the flats – three two-beds and three one-beds – will be over three floors and the block will have a total of seven parking spaces.

Masters Of The Air Has Finally Started Production
“Masters of the Air,” the third installment of the Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks-led trilogy that includes “Band of Brothers” and “The Pacific,” has officially begun filming, according to an Instagram post from director Cary Fukunaga.
The development of the miniseries, which includes production costs that could exceed $200 million, was originally confirmed by HBO in January 2013, but delays and budget considerations led to the project being dropped, according to a statement from the network. Announced as an Apple TV+ production over 18 months ago, the filming was once again delayed due to COVID-19 restrictions.
