Proposed by the Revd W.

The road leading to Illmire, is being at the present time in a very bad state of repair and dangerous to the public. Although a very small Parish they have been called upon to contribute during the past year no less than £292 from the Rates to the Wycombe Union and District Council respectively, and the meeting considers that in view of the amount contributed more attention should be paid to the just requirements of the Parish and they would urge the District Council to give immediate attention to this complaint.
