Community Plan

The Shape of Things to Come - South Bucks 2006-2016

• Minutes of the South Bucks Partnership
• Constitution and Operation

This is a summary of a new plan for South Bucks. It is based on the thingsyou've said are important to you. Things like making people feel safer,improving health, increasing community spirit, and protecting theenvironment.

The plan has been developed by local organisations committed to workingtogether under the name of the South Bucks Partnership, to improve the qualityof life for everyone in South Bucks. We're calling the plan the Community Planfor South Bucks. In it, we suggest the key issues for the area taking account ofthe views many organisations and people expressed through a Vision Day held in2005, followed by consultation distributed to every household in South Bucks.Some of these issues are already being tackled. In cases where they aren't, weconsidered how we might work together to improve the quality of life,particularly where there are gaps in what is already being done and where thepartnership can add real value.

This will be just the start of the community planning process, not the end.The stage after that promises to be the most challenging for the South BucksPartnership - that of ensuring that the Community Plan makes a real differenceto the way that the partners work. Most importantly we are aiming to deliverreal and lasting benefits to the people of South Bucks. By working together, wewill make the best use of time, effort and money.
The Partnership will reviewand update the content of the Community Plan regularly in response to what youhave to say.

So please read on to find out what's happening to tackle the issues localpeople are concerned about and to read our suggestions for what we should doover the next ten years. We don't pretend that this plan is perfect and we knowwe're not tackling every issue that's been raised. But we really want to hearyour views on it - whether we're dealing with the most important things in theright way and whether you have any ideas for other things that our partnershipshould be doing.South Bucks Partnership.
