High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, comprises a number of suburbs including Booker, Bowerdean, Castlefield, Cressex, Daws Hill, Downley, Green St- GSW, Holmers Farm, Micklefield, Sands, Terriers, Totteridge and Wycombe Marsh, as well as four former nearby villages: Hazlemere, Holmer Green, Penn and Tylers Green.

Although situated in the county of Buckinghamshire which is one of the most affluent parts of the country Wycombe contains some considerably deprived areas. In 2007, a GMB Union survey ranked the Wycombe district as the 4th dirtiest in the South East and the 26th dirtiest in the whole UK . The survey found litter on 28.5% of streets and highways. Data for the survey was taken from the Government’s 2005/06 Audit Commission.

The town is currently undergoing a large redevelopment of the centre, including the development of the town’s existing shopping centre and the completion of the new Eden Shopping centre and the redevelopment of the Buckinghamshire New University with a large student village and new building on Queen Alexandra road.

These two developments have brought new life to the town and caused an influx of interest in the town[citation needed], with larger apartment buildings and a new multi-million pound hotel being built in the centre and a new Sainsbury’s store on the Oxford road next to the Eden shopping centre and bus station.
