I would like to thank everyone who supported the MacMillan Coffee Morning on Saturday.

We had a wonderful turnout and a wonderful selection of delicious cakes.

Thanks to your support and generosity we have raised in the region of £500 for MacMillan Cancer Support.

Many thanks

The HANK 22 footpath (entrance off Post Office Lane) was cut back by the Parish Stwd Dave Catley this week – see photo.

The landowner, Tom Law, has helpfully driven a tractor up and down the footpath route through the standing crop to show where it goes.

On this image it’s the path leading south to Post Office Lane.

The online booking system pilot is now live at six Household Recycling Centres (HRCs), for pre-booked visits from 14 September.

As residents can book up to one week in advance, availability will build gradually as the booking window rolls forward, with new booking slots becoming available each day.

The pilot operates at the following sites: •    Devizes
•    Lower Compton (near Calne)
•    Melksham
•    Purton
•    Salisbury
•    Stanton St Quintin (Chippenham)

Residents using these sites will initially be able to book a 30-minute time slot up to one week in advance, with some same-day appointments also available. We will regularly review slot durations throughout the pilot to ensure sufficient site capacity is available.

The pilot is for data gathering purposes and has been introduced to:

•    Reduce queuing at Household Recycling Centres
•    Improve the overall customer experience
•    Minimise disruption for nearby residents, communities and businesses

It’s important to note that existing opening hours, vehicle permit requirements and the types of waste accepted at each site will remain unchanged.
