Wiltshire Council is continuing to host its series of community events across the county where people can ask questions to find out more about the work of the council, with the Leader of the Council having visited 16 of Wiltshire’s 18 community areas so far.

The next event takes place at Antrobus House in Amesbury on Monday 2 December from 6pm to 7.30pm.

People are encouraged to ask any questions about the council, its objectives and priorities, and the challenges ahead. The events are an opportunity to put questions directly to the Leader of the Council, Cllr Richard Clewer, and hear his thoughts and plans for the future.

Previous events have taken place in Chippenham, Devizes, Westbury, Trowbridge, Salisbury, Southern Wiltshire, Calne, Melksham, Warminster, South West Wiltshire, Malmesbury, Corsham, Bradford on Avon, Marlborough, Royal Wootton Bassett and Cricklade and Tidworth.

Cllr Richard Clewer, Leader of Wiltshire Council, said: “Thank you to everyone who came along to the last event in Tidworth. As has been the case with all the events so far, it was really useful and productive to look in detail at areas of local concern and what can be done to resolve them.
“I have now visited most of Wiltshire’s community areas and it’s been such a valuable experience to discuss our approach and hear your ideas. The next event takes place in Amesbury on 2 December and I would encourage residents to come along and ask me any questions and find out more about the work we are doing.

“These events have been a great opportunity to tackle issues that are unique to each community area and ensure our priorities reflect those of local communities.

“If people can’t make the event but would still like to ask a question, they can submit it in advance to communications@wiltshire.gov.uk.”
