  • Plan to relocate Melksham’s Aldi store to former Countrywide Farmers site Supermarket chain Aldi is planning to relocate its Melksham store from Beanacre Road to a new site near the Farmers Roundabout. The proposed location is the former Countrywide Farmers PLC site, which has stood vacant since the company went into administration and closed the store in May 2018. The retailer says the current store “no longer meets Aldi’s needs” and that the new site would provide “easy access to a high-quality, low-price retailer”. Aldi has confirmed that current staff in Melksham would be retained, with additional jobs created for the community. The existing Beanacre Road store will remain open while plans for the new site are progressed. An online public consultation has been launched for residents to view the proposals and share their feedback before it closes on 25th June.

  • Carnival Prince to donate 25 inches of hair for cancer charities Melksham’s seven-year-old Carnival Prince is set to have 25 inches of his hair cut off on carnival day to support this year’s Carnival Queen fundraising campaign for cancer awareness. Guy Newman, whose hair currently measures 29 inches, is raising money for CoppaFeel! – a youth-focused breast cancer charity – in honour of Carnival Queen Debbie Holman, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022 and has been fundraising for the charity. The haircut will take place on the morning of Melksham Carnival, Saturday 5th July, with local salon Libra Hair Studio carrying out the cut. Guy’s hair will also be donated to the Little Princess Trust, which provides real hair wigs to children and young people who have lost their hair due to cancer or other conditions.

  • Melksham defibrillator unavailable in emergency due to council registration error A defibrillator outside Melksham’s fire station could not be used during a medical emergency earlier this year – because it wasn’t registered on the national system used by ambulance services to locate life-saving equipment. In February, a resident tried to access the defibrillator – which is managed by Melksham Town Council – following a serious medical incident involving a family member. However, when they called 999, South Western Ambulance Service was unable to locate the equipment. Read more on our website. The link is in our Bio.

  • Carnival team deliver sweet treats to raise funds for this year’s procession The Melksham Carnival team raised funds towards this year’s procession recently by providing pre-ordered goodie boxes to families at two local primary schools. The boxes included fresh scones, cream, jam, tea and strawberries and were distributed on the last day of term at Aloeric Primary School and Bowerhill Primary School. In total, the scheme raised £170 towards this year’s carnival procession, which is taking place on Saturday 5th July. Chair of Melksham Carnival Michelle Brightwell said, “It was a rocky start to the day when last-minute illness meant I was left to sell the cream tea boxes at two locations — at the same time — on opposite ends of town.

  • Local primary school boosts Ofsted report to ‘Good’ in all areas A local primary school has boosted its Ofsted rating and is now rated ‘Good’ in all areas. The Manor CE Primary School on Ruskin Avenue has received ‘glowing’ praise in its recent Ofsted inspection for every category, including the quality of education, behaviour and attitudes, personal development, leadership and management and early years provision. The rating follows the school’s Ofsted inspection in 2022, which rated the school as ‘requires improvement.’ Headteacher Michael Park said, “We are thrilled that this report reflects the caring and ambitious nature of our school. Thank you to all our pupils and their parents and all our staff; your hard work and dedication make all the difference. We look forward to continuing to work together to provide the best support for all pupils.” Pictured: The Manor Primary School pupils with headteacher Michael Park Read more on our website, the link is in our bio.
