Health and social care providers in Buckinghamshire, including GPs and Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust, are calling on residents to participate in the new Health & Social Care Survey. They would like to understand how residents from all backgrounds currently use health and social care services and are particularly interested to hear which services are working well and where possible improvements could be made.
Deadline extended to 23rd Oct.
Buckinghamshire’s 16 new Community Boards officially launch this week as the first public-facing meetings with local communities take place.
The community boards have been created to bring the new council and communities together, giving people the opportunity to speak up and get actively involved in improving their local area. They now have a key role in helping local areas to recover from the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic.
A handy set of reminders are here.
To help prevent the spread of coronavirus Buckinghamshire Council is offering a friendly reminder to residents to wipe down bin handles and wash hands with soap and warm water after handling bins.
Ever wondered what the connection is between the Coombe Hill monument, Cold War missile and rocket testing at Westcott, West Wycombe Park and the remains of Ludgershall medieval village?
Well, their fascinating histories have been documented, alongside some 35,000 other records, and are now available on Buckinghamshire’s brand new online Heritage Portal.
As well as information about traditional archaeological sites, earthworks and artefacts, the portal also contains details about historic buildings and local landscapes, covering periods from the earliest human settlements to the end of the Cold War and beyond.
Cases have risen in some areas close to Buckinghamshire so it’s essential we keep following the rules and keep up with the basics; regular and thorough hand-washing, wear your face coverings when needed and keep a safe distance from people outside your household. Thank you again to everyone for keeping this up.
