Chesham ward action plan

Chesham ward partnership have developed an action plan to address local issues and improve opportunities for all. This is part of the Opportunity Bucks programme which aims to help residents access the opportunities on offer in Buckinghamshire.

The ward partnership would like to hear your ideas on how to improve:

• education and youth engagement
• jobs, careers and skills
• quality of the public realm
• standard of living
• health and wellbeing

We want to hear from the community about your ideas to improve this area.

The ward partnership brings together local people, community groups, organisations, and councillors to take action on what’s important to their area.

We have identified priorities that we are working on over the coming months:

• supporting young people in the community, through parks and open spaces and tackling lack of youth provision in the ward
• safer communities; addressing antisocial behaviour and road safety
• healthy futures; supporting community wellbeing through all aspects of health, addressing healthy eating and tackling food poverty
• improve educational aspiration and opportunities for young people and adults – addressing social mobility through educational attainment
