Wiltshire residents can claim up to £250 (whilst funds last!) to help with their heating and fuel bills over the cold period. This time round we are paying either for top up vouchers for their prepayment meters or credit into their energy account if they pay by direct debit. We can also help with solid fuels also such as LPG gas bottles, wood or coal. To be eligible, the client will need be in receipt of a means tested benefit, of pension age, or of working age and receiving a disability benefit (or they/someone in the household has a health condition worsened by the cold). They also need to be struggling with their fuel bills and keeping their home warm. You can call our advice line number on 0800 038 5722 | ||

Normal Parish Meetings have been cancelled due to current health warnings. Meetings are being held by on-line meetings. Details of meetings are here. Our Parish Plan outlined the need for the following action: "The Parish Council will continue to secure representation from the four communities and will seek further ways to improve its association with them for example by rotating the venue of Parish meetings." Future Parish Council meetings will be held at Old Sarum Community Centre, Hampton Park (Greentrees School) and Laverstock at River Bourne Community Farm on a rolling programmed basis. Residents can address the council with any concerns for up to 3 minutes before the meeting proper starts. Details of meetings and agenda are to be found on our | |
Planning Applications The PC is providing a table which lists the Planning Applications that have been referred to the Parish Council for their opinion. Applications are generally considered by a team of three Councillors, but may occasionally be referred to the whole Council. Full details may be viewed on the Wiltshire Council website. The RESPONSE is the view of the Parish Council and will be considered, along with other consultations, by Wiltshire Council, who will make the decision. | |
