Buckingham Town Meeting

The Town Council hosted the Annual Town Meeting on Wednesday evening last week. The Annual Town Meeting is for the whole town to come together and review the past year and think about the next one and beyond. It is not a TC meeting but one that the TC is happy to convene. More than 50 local residents turned up to discuss community safety, planning matters, local health provision, river pollution, the relationship between the 'town and gown', local roads, the cemetery etc etc etc...

We had Thames Valley, AVDC, Bucks County Council, UoB, the Environment Agency, and the Town Council all present. Most of the evening was spent heads down in discussions around the tables as the photo below shows. There will be a report published weaving together the results from the evening's meeting and the 'virtual' Annual Town Meeting organised by the Town Council on social media in the weeks running up to last Wednesday.

There were some good debates and information sharing: problem solving together to create an even better Buckingham!
