Bucks' new council wants your help to decide its new look.

With the new unitary council coming into place in April 2020 - replacing the current five councils in the county - it will require a new visual style on its buildings, buses, website and more.

Residents across the county are invited to get involved in a number of focus groups taking place in the next few weeks, to look at the options for a logo, colours, and style to represent the new Buckinghamshire Council.

In a joint statement, Cllr Warren Whyte (Buckinghamshire County Councillor and Aylesbury Vale District Councillor) and Cllr Angela Macpherson (Leader of Aylesbury District Council and Buckinghamshire County Councillor), who are working with teams across all five current councils to create the new brand, explained that no design experience is necessary for those who want to get involved.

They said: “We’re looking for people from all walks of life – all we ask is that you live in Buckinghamshire.

"We are not looking for branding or design geniuses (although they are, of course, welcome), we just want a range of local people to tell us what they think, and help shape how our new council will look for the future.”

There will be five focus groups held across the whole county between August 29 and September 5, in the following locations:

Aylesbury – Thursday 29th August, 6-7pm

Exhibition Suite, Old County Offices, Market Sq.

Denham – Monday 2nd September, 6-7pm

Capswood Office, Oxford Road

Amersham – Tuesday 3rd September, 6-7pm

Chiltern District Council Office, Kind George V Road

Buckingham – Tuesday 3rd September, 6-7pm

Buckingham Library, Verney Close

Wycombe – Thursday 5th September, 6-7pm
