The Missendens Community Board covers the following areas:

• Great Missenden
• Little Missenden

View our map to check the area or parish that you live in.

Each year we will look at what matters to our local area the most, using data and local intelligence to help us determine the priorities our board will focus on. Some of this information can be found in the Missendens Local Profile (PDF document) and Missendens Public Health Profile. We will involve residents, partners, local groups and organisations in understanding what the local issues and priorities are.

Priorities for 2024 to 2025 are:

• Bringing the Community Together
• Young People & Families
• Regeneration
• Health and wellbeing
• Community Safety

These priorities will help us determine where we take action and allocate funding to improve the local area.

If you have a project that relates to one of the priorities above, you may be eligible for funding.

Read the criteria for funding here.

We take actions on issues linked to our priorities. To do this, we have working groups that bring together board members and representatives from the community and relevant partner organisations.

Working groups identify and discuss issues linked to our priorities, and we consider project ideas and requests for funding linked to these issues.

If you're interested in getting involved with one of the working groups or would like to discuss an idea you may have for a project, contact us at [email protected].

The Chiltern & South Bucks Policing Issues Forum provides a platform for effective communication between residents and Neighbourhood Policing across the Chiltern & South Bucks Local Policing Area (C&SB LPA).

Their work can also provide insights to the Community Board about policing matters in our area which can help set the local priorities for the Board each year.

View more about the forum and it's work on the Chiltern & South Bucks Policing Issues Forum.

If you join your community board, you'll be able to have your say on issues that affect your area. How involved you become is up to you. We'll:

• invite you to our board meetings and events
• give you the opportunity to get involved with our working groups
• let you know about local consultations
• share information on funding for communities
