Amersham on the Hill survey

We encourage our members to complete a survey aimed at understanding the nature of shops and services that local residents would like to be available in Amersham on the Hill once the pandemic has passed. This survey is being led by the Amersham Action Group in partnership with Buckinghamshire Council. All responses are anonymous. The information collected will be processed by Buckinghamshire Council for research purposes.
