On Monday 20th October there will be a screening of ‘Ordinary Love.’ An extraordinary look at the lives of a middle-aged couple in the midst of the wife’s breast cancer diagnosis. The film also stars Lesley Manville and Esh Alladi. Read more on our website. The link is in our bio.
  • Teddy bear picnic brings families together in Melksham ocal families enjoyed an afternoon of community spirit and support last month, when Goughs Solicitors partnered with their charity of the year, Home-Start North Wiltshire, to host a teddy bear picnic in Melksham. The free family event brought together lots of local parents and children, providing a much-needed boost during the summer holidays. Each family received a lunchbox courtesy of local sandwich shop The Picnic Box in Melksham, along with a new teddy bear for the children to choose and take home. “It was a special day and wonderful to see firsthand how our charity of the year makes a real difference in our community,” said Daisy Froggatt, Marketing Executive at Goughs. Associate Solicitor at Goughs, Samantha Pettersen, “Meeting the families that Home-Start North Wiltshire supports and seeing their joy throughout the afternoon was truly heartwarming.” Read more on our website.

  • Park Yoga ends after another successful season Park Yoga has officially ended for the season, after between 60 and 70 people gathered in the King George V Park each Sunday morning this summer to enjoy an hour of stretching, movement and relaxation together. The free weekly sessions ran from 4th May until the final session on Sunday 14th September. Yoga instructor Hannah Blueitt said, “It’s been really busy this year and the weather was on our side. I had some lovely feedback and the sessions have built a really nice community together.” This year’s sessions followed the first successful season last year. Hannah said, “It was nice to see lots of familiar faces this year but we’ve also had so many new people join this year too. There have been people who started it and have been there every week; there were a few people who had only missed one session, it was really nice.” Read more on our website. The link is in our bio.
  • Newly planted walnut tree celebrates international links A special walnut tree has been planted in the King George V Park by Melksham Town Council as part of a European tree-planting initiative. The Baum Challenge sees towns nominate each other to plant trees. Melksham was nominated to take part in the challenge by Bradford-on-Avon, which had been nominated by Trowbridge after the town was put forward by its German twin town, Leer. Each tree planted represents a town’s commitment to the environment and its willingness to collaborate across borders. Before the screening of the BBC’s Last Night of the Proms in the park on Saturday 13th September, Melksham’s Mayor Saffi Rabey and Deputy Mayor Jennie Westbrook planted a walnut tree, donated by Dick Lovett BMW and MINI Melksham.

  • Successful fete raises valuable funds for school A school fete brought together families and residents earlier this month for fun activities and refreshments, raising funds for Forest and Sandridge Primary School. Held on Saturday 13th September at the school, the event was organised by the Parent Teacher Association, Forest Friends, and featured children’s games, fairground rides, glitter tattoos, a braid bar, a Stitch meet-and-greet, a tombola, and refreshments from local vendors including Roc and Floss Coffee and Evie’s Mac and Cheese. Deputy headteacher James Mead said, “We are incredibly grateful to all the parents, the local community and especially our amazing PTA, Forest Friends, for their hard work in organising and running the event. Their support and generosity helped raise valuable funds that will go directly towards enhancing the school experience for our children at Forest.” Read more on our website. The link is in our bio.
  • Former mayor to contest Melksham South by-election A forner mayor will go head-to-head with a previous Wiltshire Council election candidate in the upcoming Melksham South town council by-election. The election follows the resignation of Jon Hubbard in July, who had served on the council for 17 years. The vote is scheduled to take place on Thursday 9th October. Tom Price, representing the Local Conservatives, served as the council’s mayor last year and was a town councillor for four years before choosing not to stand for re-election. Challenging him is Jon Leach of Reform UK, who unsuccessfully stood for election to Wiltshire Council in May. Both parties are regarded as right of centre, meaning residents will not have a choice of candidates from other parts of the political spectrum in this election. This is the first time in Melksham that these two parties have directly gone head-to-head without other parties standing. Pictured: Tom Price and Jon Leach Read more on our website.

  • RAF Melksham display at the town hall museum This month’s display at Melksham’s ‘pop-up’ museum in the town hall commemorates the 85th anniversary of RAF Melksham. The display has been installed by Melksham District and Historical Association, which is encouraging people to pop in and learn more about Melksham’s air force heritage. RAF Melksham was a Royal Air Force station which operated as a non-flying training base. It was established in 1940 and closed in 1965. It also trained personnel from other Allied Air Forces and the Royal Naval Air Service. After its closure, the site was developed into the Bowerhill Industrial Estate and residential area. A selection of photos from the time are displayed, as well as a panoramic image of the site. Read more on our website. The link is in our bio.
  • Family of late Melksham woman fight for justice over police ‘failings’ The family of popular Melksham woman Gail Chilcott, who died last year in a three-car collision, say they are fighting for justice after what they describe as failings by Wiltshire Police in handling the investigation. Gail, who was a magistrate, fostered around 60 children with her husband, Maurice, and was known in the town for her childminding work and involvement in many community groups and activities. She was involved in a collision on the A3102 near Calne last February and died on 26th March 2024 from her injuries. Wiltshire Police launched an investigation into the collision, but for months the family received little information. They recently learned from the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) that the case had been archived because the police had not provided the necessary information. Pictured: Gail, right, with her daughter Sally. Gail as a magistrate giving a graduation class of police their powers Read more on our website. The link is in our bio.
  • Sextortion awareness campaign launched in Melksham A new campaign to raise awareness of ‘sextortion’ – online sexual extortion – has been launched in Melksham. It’s run by Crimestoppers, the independent charity, and its youth service Fearless, and has been made possible thanks to funding from Melksham Without Parish Council. Sextortion – also known as online sexual extortion – is a cruel form of blackmail where victims are threatened with the release of intimate images unless they pay money or meet demands. These images may be real or fake, often obtained through social media, dating apps or other online platforms. Victims can be targeted by strangers, fake romantic interests or organised criminal gangs. Cases are rising nationally, and Melksham is not immune. “Sextortion can happen to anyone,” said Crimestoppers. “Victims often feel scared or ashamed. It’s important to remember don’t panic, don’t pay, and don’t stay silent. Help is available, and speaking up can protect others." Read more on our website. The link is in our bio.
