  • Memorial postbox installed in Melksham A memorial postbox has been installed in the Friends Garden for residents to write letters to loved ones who have died. The Letters to Heaven postbox has been installed by Melksham Town Council in the garden, which is behind the former Spiritualist Church in King Street. “The postbox provides residents with a dedicated space to write letters to loved ones who have passed away – whether to mark a birthday, anniversary or simply share a heartfelt message,” said Cllr Adrienne Westbrook. “The Friends Garden is already a special place in our town. Introducing the memorial postbox here felt like a natural step. Sometimes putting words on paper can bring comfort in a way nothing else can. We hope this offers residents a gentle and meaningful way to remember loved ones, knowing their letters will be treated with dignity and care.” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.

  • New Lidl supermarket planned for Melksham East Plans for a new Lidl supermarket on land off Eastern Way have been shared, with a public consultation underway for residents to give their views. Lidl GB has revealed the plans as part of a multi-million-pound investment, replacing the existing store on Bath Road, which has been open for nearly two decades. The supermarket chain says the new ‘high specification’ store will ‘enhance Lidl’s offering and facilities’ for Melk-sham residents and will be over a third larger than the current Bath Road store. Customer parking would include 132 spaces, with six accessible spaces, nine parent-and-child spaces and two electric vehicle charging points. Lidl GB says the development is expected to create 10 additional jobs, with existing employees at the Bath Road store able to transfer to the new store.

  • Melksham man to take on 270km desert run for local hospice A Melksham man will tackle a 270km run across the Sahara Desert in southern Morocco next month in aid of Dorothy House Hospice Care. Liam Ralph will compete in the gruelling Marathon Des Sables in April to support the hospice which provided palliative care to his uncle when he died of Motor Neurone Disease. The event will see Liam run approximately 270km over just six days in the Moroccan Sahara Desert, with temperatures expected to reach 50 degrees. He will carry 10kg of equipment in a rucksack including food, cooking equipment, water, hygiene items, first aid and clothes. At the end of each leg, Liam will stay in provided tents in the desert before heading out early the next day to complete the next phase. Liam will tackle six stages, including 32km, 40km, 32.5km, a 100km stage, a marathon-length stage and a half marathon, covering 270km in total. The terrain is described as brutally diverse, ranging from endless sand dunes and rocky jebels (mountains) to salt flats and dried riverbeds.

  • Melksham powerlifter achieves second place in British championships A powerlifter from Melksham has achieved second place in the British Open Classic Bench Press Championships. Annabel Moloney competed in the championships in Maidstone on 1st March, where she lifted a personal best of 100 kg, competing against six other powerlifters from the British Isles. The result means Annabel may now be selected to compete for Great Britain in the World Bench Press Championships in Warsaw in May; the team is yet to be announced. She is also preparing for the English Bench Press Championships in early April, which could put her in contention to compete for the Commonwealth title.

  • Netball club receives funding boost from housing provider A housing provider has awarded a £1,000 grant to a women’s netball team in Melksham, helping keep subscription fees affordable. GreenSquare Accord (GSA) awarded the grant to St Barnabas Ladies’ Netball Club, which trains at Melksham Oak Community School. The club was created to give women an inclusive and casual environment to enjoy exercise without the pressure of competitive league play. The donation will fund weekly coached sessions throughout 2026, helping keep subscription fees affordable for local women, including GSA customers who benefit from discounted rates.

  • Students help local wildlife in Big Schools’ Birdwatch Students at Melksham Oak Community School have been helping local wildlife by taking part in the RSPB’s Big Schools’ Birdwatch. The birdwatch involves students watching and counting the birds that visit their school grounds or outdoor space before submitting their results to the RSPB. It takes place during the first half of the spring term and gives young people the chance to participate in a UK-wide citizen science project. In preparation, students transformed the school’s Outdoor Education Area into a bird-friendly space. They made bird feeders from recycled materials, created habitats for birds to hunt for invertebrates, cleared litter from the area, and became more familiar with the birds that visit the site. The most commonly sighted birds included robins and blue tits, while some of the more exciting visitors were a trio of mallard ducks, a buzzard, and a very elusive green woodpecker.

  • Clothes Swap returns to Avonside A popular clothes swap is returning to Melksham on 29th March at Avonside. The event will be hosted by Swap Society at Doubles and will feature pre-loved clothing being swapped, as well as the opportunity to enjoy coffee and pizza and listen to records. Organisers Gracie and Meagan said, “Having hosted two successful swaps previously at Doubles, we are back for another slice of the pizza, much anticipated by our swap community. Think coffee, pizza, groovy tunes and new-to-you fashion. “Two million tonnes of textiles are wasted every year, so clothing swaps are just another way of keeping clothing circular. In 2025, Swap Society saved over 2,000 garments from landfill and is looking to do even better in 2026 with your help. “Pre-loved fashion is not only more cost-effective but much gentler on our planet; more and more people are choosing to shop or swap second-hand in 2026. Less waste, more you.” Read more on our website. The link is in our bio.
  • Schoolchildren perform at county dance festival Pupils at a local primary school took part in the West Wiltshire Dance Festival in Bath recently, alongside other schools from across the area. A group from St Mary’s School Broughton Gifford took part in the event at The Forum in Bath on Tuesday 10th February. A member of the Friends of the school Charlotte Godsiffe said, “Oak Class gave an absolutely phenomenal performance of their routine which comprised a mash-up of rock and roll and street dance to Rockin’ Robin and Uptown Funk. They showcased amazing moves with musicality and team spirit. “They represented St Mary’s amazingly. We are lucky to have a secret weapon; their class teacher, Mr Macdonald, is a former professional dancer with the English National Ballet and coached them to deliver such an outstanding performance.” Read more on our website.
