  • Free yoga returns to the park every Sunday Park Yoga has returned to Melksham, giving residents the opportunity to take part in a free weekly yoga class. The outdoor sessions are held at King George V Park, bringing people of all ages together for an hour of yoga suitable for all levels and abilities. The first session was held on Sunday 4th May, with nearly 100 residents rolling out their mats to take part in the event, which is organised by Park Yoga – a charity that provides free community park yoga sessions on Sunday mornings across the country. Everyone is welcome to join the free Park Yoga sessions every Sunday from now until 14th September, from 9.30am to 10.30am. Look out for the large Park Yoga flag.

  • Residents criticise town council over tree works during nesting season Residents have hit out at Melksham Town Council after coppicing works were carried out on a mature horse chestnut tree in King George V Park during what is considered to be nesting season. The tree, which was not under a Tree Protection Order, was recently cut back by the town council. The works took place shortly before a circus arrived to set up in the park and speculation among residents has pointed to the tree being cut back to allow a large vehicle from the circus to pass through. The council has said the tree was “identified as needing maintenance during a comprehensive tree survey conducted in January,” but the timing and apparent link to the circus have sparked criticism from local residents.

  • Melksham woman reunited with sign from her grandfather’s iconic town centre shop A Melksham woman has been reunited with a sign from her grandfather’s iconic Melksham shop, based in the town centre in the 1950s and 60s. Marianne Staniforth has been given the sign for Sawyers, which was her grandfather’s fruit, vegetable and sweet shop located in the precinct in the town centre. The shop, which is now Haine & Smith Opticians, stood next to the former picture house. “Lots of people will remember the shop,” says Marianne. “It was quite iconic in Melksham and I am sure many residents have lovely memories.” When a family friend bought Marianne’s late father’s house, they found the sign being used as a shelf in the pantry.

  • Local doctor completes ‘Peaks in Pants’ challenge to support women in need A doctor from Spa Medical Centre has completed the gruelling Three Peaks Challenge, raising over £11,000 and collecting hundreds of pairs of underwear for women in need. Dr Claire Rigby joined seven other women for the ‘Peaks in Pants’ challenge, climbing the highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales – Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Yr Wyddfa (Snowdon) – in under 24 hours, to support the charity Let’s Get Our Knickers in a Twist. The charity, launched in 2022, provides new underwear to vulnerable women, including those who are homeless, fleeing domestic violence or living as refugees. “You can’t donate second-hand underwear,” explained Claire. “So this charity helps women who often only have what they’re wearing.” Speaking after the challenge, Claire said, “I am aching all over but I am on cloud nine. It felt great in the end and we’ve raised over £11,000 for Let’s Get Our Knickers in a Twist – and we have a mountain of pants!” Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
