Aylesbury Town Council Save Community Hubs

With the purchase of the Railway Club, the Town will now be able to benefit from a new space for community events and a wide range of services. The centre of Aylesbury has never had a formal dedicated community space and it's anticipated to be a popular location for not only vital services but cultural and other events. 

The three community centres, Haydon Hill, Quarrendon & Meadowcroft (including Bowlers Field) and the Aylesbury Vale Multicultural Centre were under threat of their funding being withdrawn which Aylesbury Town Council has now safeguarded. The existing management committees will stay in place and will be supported by Town Council staff to allow them to thrive in their communities. 

Importantly this transfer to the Town Council will be cost neutral as residents will see a reduction in the "Aylesbury Special Expenses" as that funding is now supported by Aylesbury Town Council. Aylesbury Liberal Democrats have long campaigned against the inequitable "Aylesbury Special Expenses" and we hope that this is the first of many such transfers as previously promised but not yet delivered on by Tory run Buckinghamshire Council.

The Aylesbury Liberal Democrats will keep looking out for and after community assets especially at a time when Conservative run Buckinghamshire Council is threatening to cut services and sell assets to the highest bidder.
