Our Priorities for the Buckingham Ward
These elections present a clear choice: moving forwards with the Liberal Democrats or 4 more years of failure from the Conservatives.
- Homes that local people can afford and the schools, health care and transport links that they need.
- Investment in road maintenance and repairs that stand the test of time and provide good value for tax payers’ money.
- Listening to local residents and working with them to address problems rather than one-size-fits-all policies.
- A genuine commitment to nature protection and climate action in Buckinghamshire.
