9 10 11 The Waddesdon area priorities

A workshop was held to refresh the local area priorities during the Local Area Forum Meeting on 18 November 2015.

Members were provided with the outcome of a survey of residents which asked for views on the previous pri- orities and for suggestions for new ones. Members also considered demographic and other data about the local area, as well as work which had been carried out already to address the previous priorities. Members then agreed to adopt the current priorities.

The priorities are split into:

Workable priorities, those that the LAF can work on locally.

Strategic priorities, those that are more strategic and therefore the LAF has to influence through lobbying dif- ferent services and organisations.
