Review of actions from the previous meeting: · Voices and Choices funding application – request for further information o Further information supporting their application had been requested but they had not been able to provide the level detail wanted.

They had been asked to consider apply again if they were better able to demonstrate a local coverage in the future.

Petition received: · Nags Head Lane width restriction Minutes: One petition had been received, a copy of the resulting report was circulated with the agenda.
Nags Head Lane width restriction Description: Requesting a width restriction at the bridge end of Nags Head Lane in Great Missenden to prevent large lorries from using the road as a shortcut to larger areas. Discussion: research was needed to assess were the problem arose from and to come up with the best possible solution. One concern raised was whether a width restriction would restrict emergency vehicle assess and cause issues for school buses.
RESOLVED: This petition would be discussed further at the transport subgroup.

Funding Applications PDF 212 KB To be presented by Liz Charleston, Buckinghamshire Council.
Additional documents: Minutes: The following funding applications had been received. Application had been circulated to relevant members for comment.
Holmer Green Sports Association and Holmer Green Football Club (HGSA/HGFC) Amount: £2,500 (no match funding secured) Description: Anti-vandalism measures to target anti-social behaviour (ASB). Proposals included CCTV, fence and hedge repairs, lighting and improving visibility from outside the site. Discussion: Subgroup discussion had suggested reducing the grant to £1,500. Other members felt the application was reasonable having followed advice from specialists and reflected similar grants given by other Community Boards. By using CCTV it was hoped the culprits could be identified and support put in place to stop issues from being moved to another site. There was also work under way with local schools to identify and support young people.
RESOLVED: Member of the Board AGREED funding of £2,500.
Misbourne Area Youth (MAY) Amount: £833.32 (no match funding) Description: Monies to go towards retaining MAY’s experienced youth worker until normal activity (and funding streams) could be resumed. Discussion: It was confirmed that Buckinghamshire Council (BC) owned youth centres throughout the county but had not been responsible for funding/running youth clubs. The support referred to in the application was practical support such as training. It was noted that Prestwood had a large youth population and MAY would likely have to close if they received no funding in the immediate future.
RESOLVED: Member of the Board AGREED funding of £833.32
