  • Plenty of positives for Melksham Town despite Yeovil defeat Melksham Town were beaten 4-1 by National League side Yeovil Town in a well-attended pre-season friendly at the Meads of Melksham Community Football Stadium on Saturday. Played in extremely hot conditions, the fixture drew a large crowd and provided Town supporters with an early look at the club’s new signings ahead of the upcoming season. Despite the scoreline, manager Kieran Baggs took plenty of positives from the performance. “The stadium was packed and it was nice to play in front of a big crowd again,” he said. “I thought we played some really good stuff at times and scored a fantastic goal but in the end the National League side showed their class. “We can’t look into it too much because we didn’t see that much of the ball for long periods but, for me, I thought the reason why we kept it competitive for so long was our fitness levels.

  • Melksham Times Past A column about days gone by in Melksham by local historian Lisa Ellis Do you know your Melksham trivia? For Art’s Sake John Joseph Haze- land (1838-1889) was a brewer’s son who chose not to go into the family business at Shaw Brewery after his father died in 1848, but instead found himself travelling to Norway in 1857, where he later settled and worked as a language teacher. Hazeland died in 1889 in Kristiania, Norway and his funeral viewing was immortalised in a painting by a famous artist also from Kristiania (now Oslo). Do you know the name of this Norwegian artist and what painting he is famously noted for? (Have a good think, take yourself to King George playing field and enjoy an ice cream from Edy’s.)

  • New central depot plans revealed for Christie Miller site Plans for a new depot on the former Christie Miler site are set to go on public display, with residents invited to comment before a planning application is submitted later this summer. The proposed Wiltshire Council central depot would be built on the former sports centre and golf course site at Bowerhill, bringing together a range of services, including highways, waste, streetscene, a Household Recycling Centre, maintenance workshops, offices and parking. The council says the fit-for-purpose facility would support council services for the next 30 years and improve efficiency by reducing the number of depot sites across the county. The proposals will be on display at Melksham Community Campus from Monday 13th July to Friday 31st July. Display boards will show the proposed site layout, including enhanced Household Recycling Centre (HRC) facilities. Council officers and members of the project team will be available to answer questions on Tuesday 21st July from 10am to 4pm and Thursday 23rd July from 2pm to 7pm. Read more on our website.

A total of 170 pupils from Years 4, 5 and 6 attended the theatre trip as part of the school’s ‘7 in 7 for Personal Development’ initiative, which aims to give every child the opportunity to experience live theatre three times before leaving primary school. Headteacher Chris Light said, “Visiting the theatre is a big part of our ‘7 in 7 for Personal Development’ and we want all of our children to experience the magic of the theatre three times before they leave primary school.
