There are little gems trying hard but generally the community has been ripped apart by large commerce moving out and the work environment has mainly deserted the township. I feel Chesham has become largely a dormitory town with many people traveling beyond its boundary. It is pretty and has a good heart but the edges are splintered. Peter Sadler
We are a real community. The good and the bad. We care about where we live and each other. Vicki Batterbury

As what Chesham has done - how about being the first place outside London to have an X-ray machine. Chesham hosptial did us proud there. Helen Piper
From Chesham I got with a man, had a baby and he is the biggest dead beat dad I’ve ever met. Kerry Young
Things change, times change, it’s not any worse or any better, just different. Carol Maguire
