West Wycombe ward action plan

West Wycombe 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 to address over the coming months:

• increasing community cohesion
• improving the quality of our public realm for example running community clean ups, planters project
• developing a mental health community café for advice and support
• improving early years support and advice to enable early intervention and prevention

Creating opportunities for residents to get involved in a ‘planting out’ community get-together supports improving community cohesion, bringing a sense of belonging and pride in the area and involvement in shaping community.

Sands Litter Wombles are a group of local volunteers who collect litter in the Sands area. This helps towards our aim of improving the quality of the public realm.

We are looking to develop a one stop shop of support in a café setting with a focus on providing information and advice on mental health and other topics related to the cost-of-living crisis.

Tell us what’s important for your area:

• attend a ward partnership meeting- one-off or regularly
• be part of a working group linked to one of the above priorities or projects
• take part in further surveys
• email us and share your views
