    Melksham Without Parish Council's Response to the 2Nd Non

    Melksham Without Parish Council’s Response to the 2nd Non-Statutory Consultation by Wiltshire Council on the A350 Melksham Bypass following a meeting of Full Council on 26 July 2021 at 7.00pm at 1 Swift Way, Bowerhill Melksham Without Parish Council are in a unique position with regard to the proposed A350 Melksham Bypass. The majority of the proposed 10c route is in the parish, and its potential impact will affect the variety of communities that the council represent in differing and varying ways, from the north in Beanacre, the east in Woodrow and Sandridge, and to the south in Bowerhill and Redstocks. It is noted that it will have limited impact on residents in Shaw & Whitley as route 10c is now proposed, as well as those in Berryfield although those at the Semington Road end of the village, close to the existing A350, also have strong views. The parish council has tried hard to listen to the views of its parishioners, and held two public meetings1 to do just that, a summary of the views of those meetings are appendices as part of this document, as well as the views of those people that wrote to the parish council rather than attend a public meeting, in the main due to the reluctance to attend in person as the covid restrictions are relaxed. The general consensus of the public opinion is that they are doubtful of the justification for this scheme, and feel that more up to date evidence is required. This is particularly as some evidence was collated pre-Covid and before improvements to ‘Farmers’ Roundabout.

    Melksham Without North 2012-2013

    MELKSHAM WITHOUT NORTH 2012-2013 Where did the last 4 years go and have we changed for the better? Putting aside the Coalition and Central Government who have much more to do to convince me they have got it right, I do believe Wiltshire Council have got it in most aspect have done a good job. Town and Parish Councils have again been excellent in their support of residents. Noticeably, there has been very little in truth, cross party fighting to the benefit of Wiltshire residents. The past 12 months have seen the Diamond Jubilee; better supported than anyone could imagine and of course the second to none Olympics with my only disappointment being that we couldn’t see the torch relay come through any areas of our ward. I hope unlike myself many residents got to see the relay. The East of Melksham development is well underway now and I hope we are nearing a solution to a bigger, much improved new Junior School as part of this development. As usual lack of finance is the problem but I believe a workable solution is being considered and we should get our school. We have of course now have everything in place to go ahead and build the new and biggest Campus in Wiltshire, right here in the Melksham Area, truly benefitting all and I believe forever consigning to the grave the much used statement of 4 years ago that Melksham was the poor relation to Trowbridge. The latest developments cause me a little disappointment in that a Dr Surgery is now proposed for the Campus instead of going into the Leekes site as I had hoped.

  • Nassaburgh Militia Lists 1762

    Nassaburgh Militia Lists 1762

    3 NASSABURGH MILITIA LISTS 1762 EDITED BY VICTOR A. HATLEY AND BRIAN G. STATHAM INTRODUCTION Series of militia lists for Northamptonshire exist for 1762, 1771, 1774, 1777, 1781 and 1786; there are also lists, some of them undated, for many parishes from the period of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars with France. The series for 1777 was reproduced by the Society in 1973, but unfortunately the lists from Nassaburgh Hundred (Soke of Peterborough) for that date are missing. The only surviving lists from Nassaburgh are those for 1762, and these are reproduced in this volume. 1 The English militia was a force raised for the defence of the realm against invasion or rebellion. It was not liable for service overseas. Under the Militia Act of 1662 all owners of property were charged with the provision of horses, arms and men, in accordance with the value of their property, but this liability was removed from the individual to the parish by the Militia Act of 1757, itself modified by a series of subsequent acts. Each county had now to contribute a quota of men for militia service, 640 in the case of Northamptonshire; elsewhere the quota ranged from 1,600 each for Devonshire and Middlesex, 1,240 for the West Riding of Yorkshire and 1,200 for Lincolnshire, down to 240 each for Monn1outh and West­ morland, and only 120 for tiny Rutland. Responsibility for raising the militia and providing it with officers lay with the lord lieutenant of each county and his deputies. Liability to serve in the militia rested on able-bodied men between the ages of 18 and 45 years.
