  • Melksham man publishes debut dark crime thriller A Melksham storyteller has self-published his first novel – a dark crime thriller inspired by an encounter with Liverpudlian gangsters in 1995. Adam Loretz wrote a first draft of the novel in 1998. However, the story lay in a draw in Adam’s house until the Covid pandemic, at which point he seized the opportunity to dig it out and self-publish his first-ever novel, The Compromise, which is now available on Amazon and will soon be released as an audiobook on Audible. “The story is about an innocent student who gets embroiled with an exiled gangster as they investigate a trail of blood that leads them in to a dark, criminal underworld,” explained Adam who works in video production. “The idea emerged from a pretty alarming situation I had with a bunch of Liverpudlian drug dealers back in 1995 when I was a student in London on a weekend break with my Glaswegian pen friend. The Compromise is currently rated five stars on Amazon. It is available in hardback, paperback, Kindle, and Kindle Unlimited formats, with a free sample available here: https://amzn.to/42ozxTE Read more on our website. The link is in our Bio.
  • Dog owners urged to clear up after pets following reports of increased dog mess Dog owners in Melksham are being encouraged to dispose of dog mess responsibly, using any council-owned bin, following residents’ reports of an increase in dog fouling across the town. Concerns have been raised about dog mess on walking routes near local schools, with residents highlighting the inconvenience and potential health risks. One resident said, “I walk my children to school, and there is dog mess on the pathways. It’s becoming harder to avoid, and I’m constantly watching where my children are stepping. It’s unpleasant and poses health risks if people come into contact with it.” Under UK law, dog owners can face fines of up to £1,000 for failing to clear up after their pets. Wiltshire Council has confirmed that any council-owned bin can be used for the disposal of dog waste. Read more on our website. The link is in our Bio.
  • Resident calls for safety improvements at Melksham East road crossing A local resident is campaigning for guardrails to be installed at a crossing on the newly opened Melksham East Relief Road to improve safety for children and pedestrians. Gary Fossey, supported by other local residents, is urging Wiltshire Council to install guardrails at the crossing before a new footpath is completed to link Melksham Oak Community School with the Hunters Wood development. He says that without this safety measure, children and pedestrians could be at risk of incidents with oncoming traffic, especially as there is a play park nearby. “I looked at the crossing and thought that, with the pathway being built, it really does need protection,” said Gary. “More children, as well as cyclists and children riding bikes, will probably use it. The problem is that Wiltshire Highways engineers, who have been very cooperative, assessed it before the path was finished."

  • Councillor calls for improvements at congested school entrance A local councillor is pushing for a solution to the ‘traffic chaos’ at the entrance to Melksham Oak Community School following repeated concerns from residents. Community School following repeated concerns from residents. Cllr Jon Hubbard has said that the current T-junction at the school entrance is failing to manage the high volume of traffic during peak drop-off and pick-up times, causing significant delays, frustration, and safety risks for parents, students and local residents. To address the issue, he is proposing the construction of a roundabout at the junction, funded through Section 106 money—contributions from housing developers for community infrastructure—allocated from ongoing housing developments in Melksham.

  • New lease of life for Melksham House: A sneak peek inside ahead of specialist school opening After two years’ renovation, Melksham House has been given a new lease of life and is due to host the county’s first-ever school for children with Social, Emotional and Mental Health Needs (SEMH). Melksham News was given a tour of the renovated 17th-century Grade II listed building this month, which is set to open as an SEMH school in September, subject to Ofsted registration. The school was initially due to open in September last year, but the council stated that this was delayed to ensure they had the right education provider in place. The school will serve 67 primary and secondary school-aged children from across Wiltshire, including those from Melksham, with complex social, emotional, and/or mental health and medical needs that have prevented them from successfully engaging in or attending mainstream schools.
