I have an Acer that produced buds in spring but didn’t produce leaves.
any ideas on what’s happened and I’m fearing the worse

if it produced no leaves all year I think it must be dead. Can you upload a photo?
In the sticks near Peterborough
Acers need a lot of moisture, especially during late summer, as that affects the foliage production the following year - a bit like buds on various spring flowering shrubs. The most likely reason is a it being too dry at the most important time.
Have you a photo you can upload, or more info you can offer? Size, location. potted or in the ground. If in the ground, what else is round about it etc. That will help with advice
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
