| Statement on Access to Old Sarum Airfield Following the circulation of the Resident’s Neighbourhood Plan Questionnaire, Old Sarum Airfield Limited have asked us to make the following points clear on access to the airfield. “Old Sarum Airfield is a commercial operation on private land and access is only open to those invited or authorised by the owners of the airfield. The airfield property provides no rights of public access and any unauthorised access is trespass, with unauthorised incursion into the licenced aerodrome being a criminal offence. The airfield property is fenced to prevent unauthorised access and we take significant steps to remove those persons who enter the property unlawfully as they create danger to themselves and others including authorised users". | |
Important Message to Mobile Library Users The Mobile Library Manager for the South Public Mobile has unexpectedly been signed off sick until 5 January 2020. This member of staff provides the service weekly on a Friday and Saturday. We are unable to provide cover at the moment and therefore it will not be possible to resume this service until after 5 January. The South Mobile Service will continue to run Monday – Thursday. We are doing everything we can to support the Mobile Library Manager and help them come back to work healthy and fit.The removal of the service will impact on 10 days of service. The customers impacted are in the communities listed below. The team will be telephoning all customers to let them know and ensure they are aware of alternative provision, ways and means of loaning books: • Winterbourne Earls, Boscombe/Allington, Newton Tony, Porton, East Gomeldon • Nomansland, Woodfalls, Quavey, Lover, South Newton • Sutton Veny, Heytesbury, Chitterne, Tilshead, Codford, Upton Lovell, Wylye, Hanging Langford • Alderbury, Landford, Whiteparish, Laverstock, Bishopdown Farm • East Harnham, West Harnham.

All customers with internet access can use our online services at www.wiltshire.gov.uk/libraries; including downloading digital books and audio books. Some customers will be able to use alternative static branch libraries. Those without internet access or transport will be without access to library books for approximately 5 to 7 weeks, depending on where they are on the mobile route. We are also looking at alternative ways to deliver books during this period to those customers impacted for example through our active network of volunteers. | |
