Your Bucks, Your Say on Buckinghamshire Council priorities and budget

We want Buckinghamshire to be a place where everyone can thrive. We will champion education, skills, and employment – supporting our schools, investing in young people, and helping residents of all ages to succeed.

We will back local businesses, attract investment, and ensure that prosperity is shared across all parts of the county – rural and urban alike. 

We will invest in the places that make Buckinghamshire special – our towns, villages, and countryside. From regenerating our high streets to improving roads, transport, and green spaces, we will deliver visible improvements that reflect local priorities.

We will champion placemaking that celebrates our heritage, strengthens local identity, and supports sustainable growth. Communities will be at the heart of shaping the places they call home.

We believe in the power of strong, connected communities. We will support local initiatives, strengthen civic participation, and work with voluntary, faith, and community groups to build resilience and pride in place.

We will ensure that every resident has a voice in shaping their community and that every neighbourhood has the opportunity to flourish.

We will collaborate with partners and engage others where appropriate, recognising that meaningful progress cannot be achieved in isolation.

Protecting and supporting our most vulnerable residents is a fundamental duty. We will continue to deliver compassionate, high-quality care for children, older people, and those with additional needs.

Our approach will focus on prevention, early intervention, and helping people live with dignity and independence. We will work closely with families, carers, and partners to ensure support is timely, tailored, and effective.
