I was not able to attend the meetings on January 10th as I was away.
At the December Council meeting the Committee was not happy about an area of the New Road Play Area needing to be fenced off around access to an underground storage tank. A representative of Wessex Water brought changed proposals to this meeting which meant that only a small area of the play area would be used and maintenance would be done in future from the highway. I think that means the area would not need to be fenced off once construction was complete.
The working party reviewing the festivals concluded that the Christmas Lights evening was successful, but that the August Festival might be better replaced by other types of events. Another meeting of the working party will be arranged where representatives of the Wootton Bassett Chamber of Commerce could be present.
