  • Drivers pay £54,000 in fines for using Semington bus gate

Drivers have paid more than £54,000 in fines to Wiltshire Council for unlawfully using Semington’s bus gate to access Semington village.

Since the installation of an automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) camera last year, 1,563 fines have been issued at £35 each, totalling £54,705.

The camera was installed by Wiltshire Council at the request of Semington Parish Council, in consultation with Melksham Without Parish Council, following reports of drivers regularly ignoring the restrictions and using the gate as a cut-through.

The two parish councils had agreed to cover the ongoing running costs of the camera – estimated at £2,000 from next year. However, in light of the income generated from fines, both parish councils now argue that the revenue should be used to cover these costs.

  • ‘No dogs’ signs installed at Forest Community Centre after rise in dog fouling

Forest Community Centre has installed ‘no dogs’ signs on its playing field following a surge in dog fouling over the past six months.

Volunteers say they were repeatedly forced to clean up large amounts of dog mess before clubs could use the field, prompting health and safety concerns – particularly for children. The situation led to postponed football matches and several complaints from parents and coaches.

In an open letter to the community, the centre said it had been left with ‘no other option’, describing one incident in particular as the tipping point.

“A little girl was playing football and fell over,” explained committee member Tina. “She had long blonde hair and when she stood up, it was all matted with dog mess. That was the last straw.”

  • Guide groups begin fundraising drive to save Guide Hut from closure

Melksham Guides have launched a major fundraising campaign to raise £25,000 for vital roof repairs to their Guide Hut – or risk losing their long-standing home.

The Guide Hut, located off Bath Road near King George V Park, is facing serious issues due to a leaking roof. Without the necessary repairs, the building will become unsafe to use and could be forced to close within 18 months, threatening the future of Girlguiding in the town, which dates back to 1922.

Built in 1959, the hut hosts weekly meetings for over 100 local girls in Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers. It also supports other community groups, including Slimming World and Melksham Ukulele Club.

“A few months ago, some of the parents of the girls who use the hut discovered that there is a serious need for repairs to the building that will ensure its future use – not only for the girls, but also for other hall users,” said Brownie leader Helen Short.

  • Semington pupils bury time capsule with help from housebuilder

Puplis at St George’s C of E Primary School have buried a special time capsule on their grounds.

The activity saw children fill the capsule with drawings, letters and mementos from daily life in 2025.

  • Melksham golfers raise vital funds for Dorothy House at regional tournament

Passionate golfers from Melksham have raised over £500 for Dorothy House Hospice Care, surpassing the group’s initial fundraising target.
