The government has asked all councils who provide Adult Social Care services, to publish an annual Local Account. 

The Local Account is a short report for service users, carers and residents to understand and decide for themselves how well their council does in meeting the needs of people who need information, advice and support from Adult Social Care.

We are interested in your views regardless of whether or not you are involved in social care in any way.

The shadow Health and Wellbeing Board is the key partnership for improving the health and wellbeing of Buckinghamshire residents. It was formed in response to the Government’s agenda for radical reorganisation of how health services are delivered and managed in England.

Your views on this consultaiton will be collated and will shape the final strategy and the Health and Wellbeing Board’s areas of focus to improve the health and wellbeing of the county.

Being able to access key services and facilities is a fundamental part of individual, family and community well-being. The elderly, children, young people and disabled people are all susceptible to isolation within our communities due to limited access to goods, services and key destinations. 
 
The Travel Bucks Strategy details how accessible transport options will be provided for residents living in Buckinghamshire with reduced budgets, smarter partnership working and development of an innovative combination of core bus services and community led transport solutions.

We recommend you have the strategy paper to hand when completing the consultation, which can be downloaded here.

Beaconsfield Town Council and the local residents raised a number of concerns regarding parking in Beaconsfield New Town. The Beaconsfield Forum agreed to allocate some of its funding to address parking in the area. They presented a survey to Buckinghamshire County Council (BCC) which enabled a list of roads to be prioritised.

BCC officers have now completed their initial site visits to observe the current parking situation and draft proposals. The purpose of the exhibition on the 21st January 2012 is to mark the start of an informal consultation of initial proposals, and agree what should be progressed to the next formal consultation stage. Your feedback is appreciated as it will be essential to progressing to the next stage.

Following reports of all day parking in Beel Close, Little Chalfont, investigations have been carried out to establish whether an experimental order can accomplish the following; to minimise the negative impact on residents, of obstructive / commuter long term parking. 

Objections to the proposal together with the grounds on which they are made must be sent in writing to Anne Davies (Head of Legal and Democratic Services, County Hall, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, HP20 1UA) by 9 July 2011 (marked for the attention of Trish Eastham: telephone no. 01296 383634, email peastham@buckscc.gov.uk).

County Council has been working with schools and headteachers on reviewing its provision for pupils with special educational needs. It is vital that trends in special educational needs are monitored and tracked, so that provision is developed to match need.

This consultation reflects this ongoing work.

Wycombe Community Safety Partnership is made up of organisations working together to improve community safety in the District.  The Community Safety Partnership Plan sets out the priorities for improving safety and how the Partnership will do this.

This is your opportunity to let us know whether we have identified the right priorities for 2012/13 and which are most important to you - it's also your opportunity to tell us about your experiences of community safety.

The results of this survey will influence the work the Partnership will undertake next year.  A summary of the results will be put onto the Wycombe District Council website within the Community Safety Section in April 2012.  This questionnaire will run from Friday 18th November 2011 to Friday 10th February 2012.
