    Cholesbury-cum-St. Leonards final meeting minutes 26-09-16 Page 1 CHOLESBURY-CUM-ST LEONARDS PARISH COUNCIL Minutes of a Meeting of the Council held in Cholesbury Village Hall on Monday 26th September 2016 at 8pm Present: Cllrs Allen, Blomfield, Brown, Minting, Joseph and Sanger. Also present: Mrs Lewis (Clerk) and County Cllr Birchley. 1989) To receive apologies for absence Cllrs Matthews and District Cllr Rose. 1990) Matters arising None. 1991) To receive declarations of interest None. 1992) Questions from members of the public County Cllr Birchley reported that Buckinghamshire had enjoyed improved GCSE and A level results this summer across the board and that, most importantly, the gap between higher and lower ends of the achievement scale had lessened. The Parish Council asked County Cllr Birchley to report on the business case for a Unitary Authority, recently agreed and sent out for consultation to the public, Parish, Town and District Councils. It is proposed to have one authority combining Aylesbury Vale, Wycombe, Chiltern, South Bucks and Bucks County Council, which it is thought, could save approXimately £18 million per year. Roll-out is anticipated in 2019 with elections held to result in having less than 100 Cllrs, from the current number of over 200. Bucks County Council is currently going through the process of meeting with Town and Parish Councils to present their plans and give the opportunity for comment. The four District Councils are undertaking their own consultations. The presentation to this Parish Council is set for 21/11/16. Cllr Brown questioned whether the ‘Community Boards’ foreseen in the plan (to represent the interests of community organisations and issues at a more local level) would have sufficient influence within the Unitary Authority, taking into account, for eXample, that Parish Councils are not planned to have voting rights on the boards at the same time as potentially have increased functions devolved from the Unitary Authority.
