Update on Issues Raised and Any New Issues Arising
An update from the Community Area Manager and leaders of the groups working on existing issues.
Minutes:
Katharine Dew was asked to provide a written update to be circulated with the minutes.
Phil Jefferson of Chapmanslade Parish Council gave a presentation regarding litter reduction initiatives in Chapmanslade; a village where litter was not tolerated.
A group of about nine volunteers in the village had been carrying out litter-picks on Saturday mornings for approximately six years. The group had received a lot of support from both the former West Wiltshire District Council and now Wiltshire Council to carry out its activities, by supplying equipment and tools and officer support.
This initiative had proved very successful in Chapmanslade and Phil encouraged other town and parish councils to consider doing the same in their towns and villages. Some photos of the group in Chapmanslade would be available with the minutes.
