We did

Your responses were used to help decision making around future of issues of Your Buckinghamshire magazine. 

The council needs to make savings to keep paying for the critical services we provide. This means we will produce only one magazine in the financial year 2024 – 2025. The magazine costs are partly offset by the advertising in each edition.
