Neighbourhood Area

Neighbourhood Planning 300x175

 

The Town Council has submitted an application to include Marlborough (with Manton), Mildenhall, Preshute and Savernake as our Neighbourhood Area. The Steering Group is made up of volunteers from the community and representatives from various organisations who have been working hard towards this first stage in the process of producing a Neighbourhood Plan which will have real influence on planning issues in the years to come. To comment on the application just log on to Wiltshire Council's consultation portal at http://consult.wiltshire.gov.uk/portal. This runs to 24th February. You can also keep up to date with the latest developments on the Neighbourhood PlanFacebook page.

St Peter's students painting competition winners

 

MiB St Peters Captioned

Just before the schools broke up for the summer holidays, students from St Peter's School took part in an art competition as part of South West in Bloom - this year's theme was 'A day in the park'. You may have seen some of their handiwork displayed in Hampton's window in the High Street.

On Friday 18th September Cllr. Mrs Margaret Rose, the Town Mayor, was invited to take part in an inspiring assembly at the school. As well as handing out badges to the newly elected School Councillors, she was delighted to award certificates to some of the prize winners, although five have moved up to St John's for the start of the new school year. Watch the Mayor's Blog for more thoughts on this later in the month. Pictured are some of the prize winners proudly holding their certificates (click on the photo to enlarge it). Well done to the winners, and our thanks to everyone who entered, the Mayor had a really hard job to judge them all! 

The paintings and, in one case, sculpture, helped to enhance the Marlborough in Bloom entry this year. We've all got our fingers crossed for Thursday 24th September, when the South West in Bloom results will be announced at an award ceremony in Dartmouth.

Bus service consultation

 

Wiltshire Council is carrying out a review of subsidised bus services across the county. Half of the bus mileage is subsidised from Wiltshire Council as it is not commercially viable otherwise. The rest of the services are operated on a commercial basis by various operators. The review is being carried out as part of wider plans to help Wiltshire Council save millions of pounds over the next three years. You can have your say via a questionnaire on their consultation portal, by picking up a paper copy from libraries and council offices, on buses offering contracted services or by calling 0300 456 0100. The consultation runs until 4th April.  Read more at http://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/news/articles/bus-service-consultation.

Cold weather on the horizon

Temperatures are expected to fall below zero at night and stay low for a few days. Please watch out for black ice when walking or driving, particularly at night and in the early morning, and never assume a road has been salted.

Wiltshire Council has some useful advice on staying warm and safe, which includes a link to Wiltshire Warm & Safe - offering impartial energy-saving telephone advice or home visits for eligible residents to help keep homes warm and lower bills. Their website also has some useful information on road gritting and prevention of falls.
