Your local Liberal Democrat Candidates are working to bring life back into our towns and villages. Burnham has lost its last bank and the High Street pharmacy may close. The good news is the opening of Budgens offering an attractive range of meals.
As we go through another national lockdown, we wanted to make sure you were aware of where to get the most up to date advice and support.
We are a year into the pandemic and it is really important to pay tribute to the staff in our schools here in the south of Buckinghamshire. Those with whom I have had contact are immensely brave, because they know that schools have not been as safe as the Prime Minister claims. I am very proud of the school community with which I am associated. In my professional life, I have never seen such dedication, or good humour in the face of exhaustion, with so many going so far above and beyond expectation for our children. I find their ability to pack away their own anxiety very moving. The staff rarely show any signs of the massive stress they are under. They cannot stay home safe from the virus.
October is Black History Month - a chance to celebrate the Black British community, acknowledge their contributions and discover their stories.

Carers are not just support for their loved ones—they are the glue holding our fragile social care system together. They deserve more than token acknowledgements or empty promises.
