9 10 11 The Wexham and Ivers area priorities
The priorities below were agreed in January 2016.
The priorities are split into those that the LAF can work on immediately and those that are more strate- gic and more of a long term aspiration, that the LAF might be limited in how much they can deliver on them, but are areas that the LAF can lobby and influ- ence partners to work on.
As work is developed to address these priorities, de- tails will be published here.
Top actionable priorities: to be worked on locally by the LAF and community groups Traffic issues Including HGVs and reducing impact of large infrastructure projects.
Parking issues
Footpath improvements
Reducing social isolation for elderly and vulnerable people.
