Our Community Boards aim to bring people<br />
together, create connections, and support and<br />
fund a whole range of projects that improve local<br />
areas across Metroland.<br />
There are three Community Boards covering<br />
the Metroland Life area: Amersham and Villages;<br />
Chesham and Villages; and Denham, Gerrards<br />
Cross and The Chalfonts.<br />
Since they were set up in 2020, the boards have<br />
made great strides in forging strong relationships<br />
with local communities, engaging with local people<br />
to understand what matters most to them, and<br />
working together with them to deliver projects to<br />
benefit their local communities.<br />

difficulty, a new Scout hut, and Christmas hampers<br />
to families not able to afford a Christmas meal.<br />
Current plans include: new bicycle racks;<br />
investigating ways to increase habitats for<br />
pollinators; various litter and recycling schemes;<br />
installation of new defibrillators; projects to support<br />
older people, those with dementia, and younger<br />
adults with learning disabilities; and exploring ways<br />
to make our roads safer.<br />
