Part of the essential infrastructure for the town is good recreational facilities, which leave room for future expansion.
Talking Points:
- The Town has a number of facilities used for the local arts groups but lacks a purpose-built theatre/ exhibition space.
- Can play areas be more innovative and inclusive?
- Can provision of more sports facilities be more cohesive and not scattered around the town?
The Buckingham Neighbourhood Development Plan will
- protect green space for recreational use and provides support for active transport such as walking and cycling for both recreational and commuting purposes.
- Through the Design Code seek accessible and appealing play areas for all ages groups – yes that includes adults!
- support the provision of a theatre space for arts groups by creation of a new building or repurposing of an existing building.
- support provision of new sports facilities with the important requirement that there should be room for future expansion of those facilities on the same site.
