small grant
On Friday, 11th September our Mayor, Councillor Mrs Margaret Rose, handed a cheque for £500 to Alzheimer's Support at it's carers meeting in Marlborough. This was grant funding from the Town Council towards the fabulous work this organisation does in
Marlborough and surrounding area. It's a small independant charity set up in 1991 and supports people with dementia and their family carers. The group runs its carer's group in Marlborough High Street and works closely with the local surgery and other agencies.
The Town Council runs a small grant scheme and there is still money remaining for this year’s allocation. Criteria and an application form can be downloaded here. More information is available at the Alzheimer's Support website: http://www.alzheimerswiltshire.org.uk.

Works to replace old metal gas pipes on the north side of the High Street (Lloyds Bank side) start on 4th January. This is part of a nationwide investment programme to update existing pipes with new, long-lasting, plastic ones. The project will help to ensure a safe and reliable gas supply. Representatives from Wales & West have visited businesses, shops and residents over the last 2-3 weeks to discuss the project and answer questions. The High Street won't be closed and it'll be business as usual. The project will last for up to 15 weeks.
