Friday, 1 November 2024 06:00

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 15 of Wiltshire’s 18 community areas so far.

The next event takes place at Tidworth Civic Centre on Tuesday, 19th November, from 6 pm to 7.30 pm.

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 and Royal Wootton Bassett and Cricklade.

Cllr Richard Clewer, Leader of Wiltshire Council, said: “Thank you to everyone who came along to the last event in RWB&C earlier this month. It was great to discuss issues of local concern and how we can work together 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 Tidworth on 19 November 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.”
