MELKSHAM people will get the chance to have their say on issues affecting the town at a special ‘Our Community Matters’ conference later this month.
The event, to be hosted by the Melksham Area Board, will take place at Melksham Assembly Hall on Wednesday 18th January from 6.30pm.
The conference is open to the public but people must book their place in advance online at melksham.ourcommunitymatters.org.uk.
Chairman of the area board, councillor Jonathon Seed says, “We want to hear your views on how we can, together, make the Melksham community area a better place to live in, work in and to visit.
“The council will present a brand new report on local issues across health and wellbeing, community safety, the economy, transport, the environment, housing, older people, children and young people and culture.”
People at the conference will be put on to tables with councillors and council officers and asked to discuss issues affecting local residents.
“It will allow us to see what has changed since 2014 and decide what needs to change over the next two years,” cllr Seed added. “This evidence will help us decide how we can deliver local projects to address local challenges. Our community really does matter and I do hope you can take part in this conversation.”
