Road Closure

Road Carriageway Works – TETBURY ROAD, WILLESLEY

Map 1 Map 2

These works involve asphalt patch repairs, adjustment of ironwork, reinstatement of road markings and associated maintenance works.
 
The works will commence on Wednesday the 6th of December 2023 and will be completed by Tuesday the 12th of December 2023 between the hours of 07:00 and 19:00, however on occasions they may over run due to uncontrollable circumstances such as plant breakdowns, if weather conditions are unfavourable, or occasionally we discover the need for additional repairs once the work has started.

Should you require any further information in advance of the works please refer to (https://one.network/?tmi=GB27124420). If you wish to discuss the works whilst they are in operation, please speak to a member of the workforce who will direct you to the appropriate person on site.

The Local Plan consultation begins today

The consultation for the Wiltshire Local Plan begins, Wednesday 27 September, with in-person events being held across the county to enable you to find out more.
We are holding 16 drop-in events at libraries and leisure centres around Wiltshire and a live webinar-style event on Microsoft Teams. You can just turn up to the in-person events, but you’ll need to register beforehand for the online event.
If you cannot make your local in-person event, you are welcome to attend any of the others to discuss the Plan and your own area – all events are open to all.
The Local Plan consultation ends at 5pm on Wednesday 22 November. To find out more, see the timetable of events, and to sign up for the online event, visit our website.

Community Orchard

The orchard was planted in March 2021 – mainly apples, pears, cherry, apricot, blackcurrant, hazel, blackthorn for sloes & crab apples on a small strip of the Village Hall Field; underneath will be space for wild flowers so the mowing regime will change to accommodate that. There will also be space for bench seats so that people can enjoy the view (apparently the Churchyard has run out of space for commemorative seats so this could provide an alternative location).
In total around 60 new tress and about 40 shrubs, which will play their part in reducing CO2 in the atmosphere.
There is still allow ample space for the big, occasional events that take place there.
