Around 125 people attended a meeting on the 'revival' of High Wycombe this weekend, according to a Bucks councillor calling for a 'town industrial and economic strategy'.

The Wycombe Town Meeting took place at 1.30pm at the Brunel Engine Shed opposite the station.

It was described as 'a moment in our collective history and the first step into our future' by Ed Gemmell an independent councillor for Hazlemere.

Before the meeting, Downley Councillor, Hazel Arthur-Hewitt stated: "Do come down and have your say.

"We are there to advise the council and if you feel you’re not consulted enough by the top in Bucks, then this is the best way to combine views at local level to then give Wycombe councillors more clout when we represent your views."

Cllr Gemmell said: "A big thank you to all the residents that came to the first High Wycombe Town Meeting on Sunday.

"We had around 125 people in the end and a wide ranging and upbeat interaction.

"Real positivity about our great town and determination to make it even greater.

"There was universal agreement that we need to drive our local economy providing jobs and training for local people and creating the financial resources needed to help in many other areas.

"It came across clearly that we need a town industrial and economic strategy that is future focussed and founded on Wycombe's unique strengths and heritage. "

The councillor stated that the meeting determined many other 'important areas for action'.

These included community connection, pride in the town, development of a local identity, help for young people to create hope and inspiration for the future, improvement of the environment and infrastructure, and developing the night time economy.

Cllr Gemmell said: "Many of the town's councillors were present and were keenly listening to the suggestions and recommendations of Wycombe's residents.

"I left the Town Meeting with real hope for the future.

"Wycombe is great, lets make it greater!"

Marsh & Micklefield councillors Trevor Snaith and Khalil Ahmed also attended.

In a joint Facebook they described attending after checking in on Micklefield Tunnel murals and attending Lidl with Santa and his Sleigh.

They stated: "Straight into the Town Meeting to listen to what the people of Wycombe want for their community — always invaluable to hear directly from residents."
