We apologise for any inconvenience caused but we have had to cancel the Annual Village Meeting of Wednesday 24 May 2023. We will be reviewing the format of this annual event that the Parish Council are required to host and would welcome any comments on it – please contact the Clerk.

On Monday 24 April from 6pm-7pm, Wilts Council are hosting a webinar to enable you to find out more about the progress of the scheme to repair the B4069 Lyneham Banks and ask questions. They will answer as many questions as they can during the webinar, and all questions and answers will be posted on this webpage after the event. They will also record the webinar and post it to YouTube so that people can watch it again.

Sign up for the webinar

Once you have signed up, they will email you a link to join the webinar; you can expect to receive this link on the morning of Monday 24 April, so please check your email then. For the best experience, please download Microsoft Teams to your computer or mobile device to access the webinar.

A new Emergency Alert System has been created to warn the public if there is a nearby danger to life. A test run of this service has now been scheduled for Sunday, 23 April 2023.

Emergency Alerts are messages sent to all compatible 4G and 5G mobile phones when there’s a danger to your life, health, or property in the area you’re located. The service doesn’t require your location or phone number and only the government and the emergency services can send the alerts. If you don’t have a mobile, you’ll still be kept informed through other channels. If you get an Emergency Alert on your phone, you’ll hear a loud, siren-like sound. A message on your screen will tell you about the emergency and how best to respond.

The Cabinet Office has released a toolkit with key messages and digital assets to help you inform and prepare your communities for this. For more details visit www.gov.uk/alerts.

Letter to residents from Wessex Water:

Water mains replacement project – Sutton Benger

We are planning to replace the ageing water main in Sutton Benger which over recent years has been prone to leaks. This will ensure you have improved water quality and a more reliable source for years to come.

How will the work affect you?

Work will start on Monday 3^rd April for approximately 13 weeks, at the junction of Sutton Benger High street  and Seagry Road. This will require three-way traffic lights incorporating a crossing point to allow safe crossing to the school . As we continue along the highstreet the traffic lights will change to two-way signals and a further set of three-way lights on the junction of Sutton Lane. The works will finish before the river crossing bridge that leads into Christian Malford

Access to all properties, emergency vehicles and refuse collection will be maintained. There may be some noise disruption while we carry out the work, with every effort made to keep this to a minimum.

What should you do?
You do not need to do anything. You can continue to use your water supply as normal unless we tell you otherwise.

Anything else you need to know?

If you have any questions, please call our customer services team on 0345 600 4 600 quoting the above reference (Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, emergencies at other times). Alternatively, there’s plenty of advice online including frequently asked questions and help from our web chat team. Visit wessexwater.co.uk
