Buckingham Local Area Forum meetings

The Buckingham Local Area Forum (LAF) includes representatives from the county, district and parish councils, as well as partner organisations like the police and community associations.

Residents are encouraged to attend meetings to hear about what is happening in their local area and have their say. The LAF meets four times a year and might cover topics such as pavements, parking, health, policing and schools.

The LAF can influence decisions about how money is spent locally, how services are delivered locally, and has some funding available to spend on meeting local priorities.
