  • Free swimming, reablement services and allowances: Councillors ‘disappointed’ over motion decisions Two Wiltshire councillors who represent Melksham say they are ‘disappointed’ with the decisions made on their motions during the council’s recent budget meeting. Cllr Jon Hubbard proposed reinstating free swimming for children and young people during school holidays and also put forward a motion to invest £1.3 million in reablement services to support vulnerable adults in regaining their independence. Both motions were voted against. Cllr Mike Sankey, who represents Melksham East, submitted a motion with Trowbridge Councillor Edward Kirk—both of whom have left the Conservative group in the past year. Their motion proposed changes to how portfolio holders—councillors assigned additional responsibilities for a particular area within the council—are selected. Read more on our website.

  • Scouts practice teamwork skills with real-life Monopoly in London Scouts from 1st Bowerhill Scout Group travelled to London recently to play a real-time version of Monopoly to practise their navigation, teamwork and problem-solving skills. The group of 14 Scouts, one young leader and eight adult leaders travelled to London in their scout minibus to play the game along with 8,000 Scouts and Guides from across the country. “Teams have one designated player who logs onto an app,” explained a Scout lead volunteer, Neal Brookes. “This then gives you various places to visit around London.” “The event started in Hyde Park. The phone is tracked, and when you are close enough to a place, for example, Oxford Street, you check in and are given the choice of visiting or buying.

  • Former Labour Club site for sale A plot of development land in the centre of Melksham is due to go to auction next month. The 0.32-acre site, at 3 Lowbourne, was formerly the site of the Melksham Labour Club, which was demolished and cleared with vehicular and pedestrian access. The site has already been granted planning permission for two schemes to develop either nine three-bed houses or 17 two-bed flats. The site has a guide price of £695,000. The agents, Hollis Morgan, say that given the town centre location and having its own pedestrian access from Bank Street, the site also offers scope for a wide range of potential commercial uses, subject to consents. The auction is due to take place on Wednesday 23rd April. Read more on our website. The link is in our Bio.
  • ‘Outstanding’ primary school gets highest grading in Ofsted inspection Local primary school, Forest and Sandridge, is celebrating after being rated Outstanding in all five areas assessed in its latest Ofsted inspection, marking a significant achievement for staff and pupils. The school received the highest possible grading across all five areas: quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management, and early years provision. Inspectors, who visited the school last month, said the school “is a happy and welcoming place where pupils flourish. The school’s meaningful values of compassion, respect, courage, and humility nurture pupils and enable them to thrive. Pupils truly value their school and the education they receive.” Headteacher Scott James said, “This outstanding outcome belongs to everyone. It is a reflection of the shared values that define Forest and Sandridge Primary School and our belief that every child deserves the very best to enable them to flourish.

  • Canal link project at risk if new Berryfield houses approved The community has raised concerns that the Melksham Canal Link project could be at risk if a proposal to develop 68 houses on land north of Berryfield Lane is approved. The Melksham Canal Link project, which has received widespread support since its proposal in 2006, is being run by the Wiltshire & Berks Canal Trust. The scheme aims to create a new route for the Wilts & Berks Canal through Melksham, connecting the Kennet and Avon Canal to the town centre, with a canal line running from Semington via Berryfield to the River Avon. However, The Wilts & Berks Canal Trust says that, if approved by Wiltshire Council, the proposed housing development would be on land earmarked for the canal, threatening the future of the project.

  • Knitting club supports local charities for over a decade For over a decade, a dedicated group of knitters in Melksham has been using their skills to make a difference, crafting handmade items for hospitals, charities and those in need. Founded in March 2014 by local women Bev Viveash and Hilary McFall, the Crazy About Knitting Club has grown to around 60 members.
