People in Bucks are generally healthier than the national average however many people still suffer from potentially preventable conditions such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, some cancers and some forms of dementia. In addition many people living inour more deprived areas have poorer health over their lifetime than people living in the least deprived areas.

Many of the programmes are countywide but some may be focused in areas of higher health need such as our more deprived areas and the wards chosen as part of the Opportunity Bucks programme. Opportunity Bucks is a partnership programme inBuckinghamshire designed to level up outcomes across Buckinghamshire across several domains including the built environment,education, skills, employment and health and wellbeing. It focuses on the 10 wards experiencing the poorest outcomes acrossmultiple indicators of inequality within Buckinghamshire.

For further information or to get involved in these public health projects please contact: phadmin@buckinghamshire.gov.uk

Time to get walking again!

January 2023

"With Spring on its way we start to think about getting out to walk in the beautiful English Countryside again, but where to find new and interesting walks? Walking in Bucks https://www.walkinginengland.co.uk/bucks has loads of walks to download and print, free, it also has books of walks, details of all the walking groups in the county and much more. Whether you want to walk on your own or with a group all the information is there in one place.

There is so much walking information on the web but it is difficult to find. Walking in Bucks (part of the Walking in England website) has brought it together in one place so whether you are walking from home, or away on holiday, you will be able to find a walk suitable for you.

With walks from half a mile to twelve miles plus long, and a note of suitability for pushchairs and wheelchairs, everyone can find a walk to enjoy.

So home or away, check out the websites and get walking!"

The sinkhole has now been filled in Sapper's Field! WBEPC now has the field back (under lease) and our groundstaff will start getting it ready for spring. Whilst the field will likely open to the public in late November/ early December 2022, in the New Year, when the growing season commences, it will be given a good haircut and regular maintenance including an inspection of the play area.

More details of the reports can be found under the above News tab.
