Councillor Steve Bowles, Chairman of AGT Board said, “Over the past three years I have been proud to be connected with the garden town as its Champion. I am grateful for Bill’s vision and dedication that has delivered the Masterplan and I am excited by what the future holds for Aylesbury.

“Our success will only be delivered by working with our partners and communities to fulfill the aspirations to make Aylesbury a great place to live, work and visit and do business and I look forward to being part of making that happen.”
