Throughout the last 11 months, we have been collecting the views of local residents about our village, and we have all had the opportunity to have our say on the things we like, the things we would like to change and what would be our Big Vision for Little Chalfont. Over eight hundred responses have been received, either at one of the special events in the Village, talks at schools, clubs, or to our older residents, on the message boards at the Library or through this website.
The responses have been collated and below are the top ‘likes’ and ‘dislikes’.
The ‘Community Vision’ document has now been published and will shortly be followed by an Action Plan of everything that needs to be done to make this Village of ours a better place in which to live and work. Some of these actions will undoubtedly need money, but funds will be easier to access if it can be shown that the project is supported by the community at large.
