Minutes:
Melksham Community Area Partnership (MCAP): Chris Holden summarised the brief report tabled at the meeting and highlighted on-going work including:
The board advised people to check details with their Parish Clerks and contact the authors of “local blogs” if they spotted any inaccuracies. The Chairman pointed out that the MCAP was mostly made up of volunteers, apart from the administrator, and that everyone should engage in a dialogue with them to help develop the website and the information available.
Wiltshire Police
Inspector David Cullop referred the meeting to the report contained within the agenda and did not wish to add anything further as he was aware of the sizeable agenda faced by the board, however he invited all present to ask question if they wished.
Wiltshire Fire and Rescue
Michael Franklin highlighted instances in which people may not be aware of the WF&R’s involvement such as the 43 homes which were visited for fire home safety checks and the 101 incidents attended on behalf of partners. He then invited all present to ask questions about the update report included within the agenda.
Melksham Town Council
Councillor Chris Petty, as newly elected Deputy Mayor, was invited to present any updates from Melksham Town Council.
Parish Councils
Melksham Without Parish Council felt that the main subject they could provide an update on would be better addressed under the Local Issues item.
