Westbury Town Council wants Wiltshire Council to disinter the concept of a Westbury bypass. The matter was considered at the Westbury Area Board meeting in April. Here's what Ken McCall of Campaign for A Better Trowbridge said to the meeting:
South Lakes MP Tim Farron has hailed figures released today that show that, in Cumbria, 3,200 people have started an apprenticeship between August 2011 and January 2012.
That's the question being posed by Liberal Democrat councillors to a meeting of the full Council on Tuesday 24th April.
On Saturday 12th May, Epsom & Ewell Borough Council are organising a Round The Borough Walk which will take in 20 miles of scenery. Two, possibly three of your Lib Dem councillors are going to attempt the epic journey!
Wiltshire Council has been attempting to educate councillors on the implications of the new legislation. The Act was signed off by HMQ in November, but much of the detail was reserved for the Secretary of State to publish when he gets round to it, so there is still uncertainty about how things will work in the new world. Although the changes are significant this is not a people's revolution, and much of the political rhetoric we heard from the Conservatives and Lib Dems before the election has been watered down.
In addition to my monthly 'bookable' surgeries at Borough Hall, the Pints in the Parishes sessions, various street surgeries and other events, I also hold 'walk up' surgery sessions on Saturdays at locations around the Borough. I have now set out a new monthly schedule of these through to the end of August, which you can see below. If you are in the area at the time, or if you happen to find yourself popping into the cake shop in Sharnbrook for a weekend treat, for example, please say hello and talk to me about any issues you would like to discuss.
