With the recommendation being that powers are returned to the city council; it has also been suggested that the commissioners are replaced by a Statutory Assurance and Improvement Board.

Buckinghamshire Council has announced that plans are progressing to continue the regeneration of the town of Aylesbury.

Both developments come as part of the council’s Aylesbury Regeneration Strategy that was agreed by the council last year for the wider ‘Regenerating Bucks’ plan. The regeneration strategy will work to create ‘vibrant and attractive’ town centres that will improve the spaces on offer for residents, businesses and visitors.
