MELKSHAM Without Parish Council has proposed a number of areas in the parish to be transformed into wildflower havens.
The areas put forward by the parish council are: Shurnhold Fields, off Dunch Lane; the large public open space behind Wellington Drive in Bowerhill; the Hornchurch Road public open space in Bowerhill; land alongside Eastern Way; and the public open space at The Spa – between Melksham Oak school and the 450 new houses to be built.
The areas have been put forward by the parish council in response to Wiltshire Council’s campaign encouraging residents to nominate areas within the town and across the county to become areas for wildflowers to grow and insects to flourish.
