Come and join the conversation says Amersham Community Board Chair

Democracy and Local Affairs

Residents, groups and organisations in Amersham are being invited to find out more about their local community board and how they can get involved in making a difference in their local area.

 

Mark Dormer, Chair of the Amersham Community Board, recorded a quick video recently, to explain a bit more about the board’s role and to encourage people to get involved.

 

The Amersham Community Board held its fourth meeting earlier this month and reflected back on its first 12 months. In addition to developing relationships with a wide variety of local groups and organisations, the board has focused on specific areas and helped fund 21 local projects.

 

For the coming year the board will give specific focus to a number of areas:

  • Environment
  • Economic recovery
  • Health and wellbeing
  • Transport

 

Action groups will be set up to delve deeper into local issues and to look at ways to make improvements to benefit the whole community. The board also sets up individual Task & Finish groups to address single key issues, discuss solutions and then action them.

 

Mark Dormer said: “We’re keen to hear from as many local people as possible. We want to hear your ideas and see what concerns you most. Community boards connect Buckinghamshire Council with local communities and allow us to deliver priorities and develop creative solutions at a local level and in partnership with local people.

 

“We particularly want to hear from people about their ideas and initiatives that can help make a difference to our day to day lives and make Amersham, Chesham Bois, Little Chalfont and Coleshill an even better place to live.”
