The Commission believes it has received sufficient evidence relating to the rest of the county to finalise its recommendations. 2 During consultation on the draft recommendations, that were published on 5 February 2019, we received 641 representations, most of which commented on our proposals for divisions in the south and south east of the county. A significant majority of these submissions expressed opposition. Many respondents provided a great deal of evidence describing their community to substantiate their opposition to our proposals. 3 Accordingly, we have been persuaded to amend our proposals and publish further draft recommendations for these areas. We are now inviting further views on our proposed division pattern. 4 We welcome all comments on these proposals, particularly on the location of the division boundaries and the names of our proposed divisions. This stage of consultation begins on 2 July 2019 and closes 29 July 2019. Please see page 10 for more information on how to send us your response. 5 The tables and maps on pages 2-8 detail our further draft recommendations for south and south-east Wiltshire. They detail how the proposed division arrangements reflect the three statutory criteria of: • Equality of representation • Reflecting community interests and identities • Providing for effective and convenient local government 1 South-East Wiltshire Number of Division name Variance 2024 councillors Alderbury & Whiteparish 1 10% Downton & Ebble Valley 1 -2% Laverstock 1 9% Old Sarum & Lower Bourne Valley 1 13% Winterslow & Upper Bourne Valley 1 3% 2 Alderbury & Whiteparish, Downton & Ebble Valley and Winterslow & Upper Bourne Valley 6 The Council proposed an Alderbury & Winterslow division comprising the parishes of Alderbury, Grimstead, Pitton & Farley and Winterslow, citing good links between the villages in this area. Grimstead Parish Council supported Wiltshire Council's proposal. 7 The Council also proposed a Downton & Whiteparish division comprising Downton, Whiteparish and West Dean parishes. It recognised that Whiteparish, whilst having strong ties with West Dean, could be seen to have greater links to Landford than Downton. It also noted that there are good links between Redlynch and Downton but concluded that the provision of single-councillor divisions consisting of whole parishes would be preferable to the creation of a two-councillor division or the creation of divisions with high levels of electoral inequality. 8 Our draft recommendations for this area were based on the Council’s proposals. In response to our consultation, the draft recommendations were supported by the Council and the Salisbury Constituency Liberal Democrat Party. However, we received over 100 submissions which proposed that Firsdown be placed in a different division from Winterslow. Many of those respondents also objected to placing Winterslow and Alderbury in the same division. Some respondents, including West Dean and Whiteparish Parish Councils argued that those areas should be included in a division with Alderbury rather than with Downton. Coombe Bissett Parish Council argued that it should be included in a Division with Downton whilst a local resident argued that Britford should also be included in a Downton division. 9 The submissions we received contained substantial evidence of the community relationships between parishes and we have been persuaded to amend our proposals in the light of that evidence. We propose that the existing Downton & Ebble Valley division be retained. We also propose that the current Alderbury & Whiteparish division, which would have an electoral variance of 16% by 2024 be augmented by the addition of Clarendon Park, Pitton & Farley and West Dean parishes. 10 We accept that Firsdown and Winterslow have strong community ties. However, they cannot by themselves constitute a division without creating a very high electoral variance. We therefore recommend that those parishes be combined with Allington, Cholderton and Newton Tony parishes, and with Porton and Idmiston villages to form a Winterslow & Upper Bourne Valley division. This requires the Idmiston parishes to be divided between divisions, with East and West Gomeldon joining Winterbourne in Old Sarum & Lower Bourne Valley division. 3 Laverstock, Old Sarum & Lower Bourne Valley 11 The Council described Bourne Valley as a clearly defined community with settlements running south west toward Salisbury. It proposed a Winterbourne division which would combine all parishes in the valley with Durnford. Trowbridge Town Council suggested that Cholderton and Newton Tony parishes be replaced in the division by Wilsford cum Lake and Woodford parishes. A local resident disagreed with the idea that Woodford should be located in Bourne Valley division. 12 We considered that Wiltshire Council’s proposal would result in a division which better reflects local community ties whilst providing good electoral equality both in the Bourne Valley and in other parts of south-east Wiltshire. 13 During consultation, the Council and the Salisbury Constituency Liberal Democrat Party supported our draft recommendation. However, we also received objections from Durnford and Woodford Parish Councils, from Wilsford cum Lake Parish Meeting and from local residents. They objected to the separation of parishes between divisions. We are persuaded by the evidence of community interactions between people in the three parishes and therefore propose to include Durnford in our Till Valley division. 14 The Council proposed a Laverstock division comprising Laverstock village, Ford, part of Old Sarum and Britford, Clarendon Park, Firsdown and Odstock parishes. The Council also proposed an Old Sarum division comprising the north eastern part of Laverstock parish. This division includes the site of a large housing development proposed at Longhedge Farm and a smaller development at Bishopdown Farm. 15 In our draft recommendations, we were not persuaded that Laverstock shares commonality with Britford and Odstock and recommended divisions which would combine the southern part of Laverstock village with the Milford area of Salisbury and combine Firsdown with Ford and Old Sarum. We proposed then to combine the Hampton Park area in a division with Bishopdown. 16 These proposals attracted the largest concentration of objections to our draft recommendations. Over 100 respondents objected to our proposed combination of Laverstock and Milford whilst a similar number objected to our proposed combination of Firsdown and Laverstock. Objections were accompanied by a great deal of evidence of community identity. The evidence demonstrated both the lack of interaction between Laverstock and Milford and a degree of interaction between Firsdown and Winterslow. 17 We are persuaded, as described above, to recommend a division which combines Firsdown with Winterslow. However, a division formed of just these two areas would result in a high electoral variance. Additionally, Laverstock’s electorate 4 is too large to constitute one division without resulting in excessive electoral inequality. We also consider that creating two divisions covering this area would arbitrarily dividing parts of Laverstock parish and cause excessive inequality in adjoining areas. 18 We have therefore decided to propose a Laverstock division which combines Laverstock Village with Hampton Park. We also propose an Old Sarum & Lower Bourne Valley

  • Addendum to School Places Strategy 2017-2022 – Explanation of the Differences Between Wiltshire Community Areas and Wiltshire School Planning Areas
    Addendum to School Places Strategy 2017-2022 – Explanation of the differences between Wiltshire Community Areas and Wiltshire School Planning Areas This document should be read in conjunction with the School Places Strategy 2017 – 2022 and provides an explanation of the differences between the Wiltshire Community Areas served by the Area Boards and the School Planning Areas. The Strategy is primarily a school place planning tool which, by necessity, is written from the perspective of the School Planning Areas. A School Planning Area (SPA) is defined as the area(s) served by a Secondary School and therefore includes all primary schools in the towns and surrounding villages which feed into that secondary school. As these areas can differ from the community areas, this addendum is a reference tool to aid interested parties from the Community Area/Area Board to define which SPA includes the schools covered by their Community Area. It is therefore written from the Community Area standpoint. Amesbury The Amesbury Community Area and Area Board covers Amesbury town and surrounding parishes of Tilshead, Orcheston, Shrewton, Figheldean, Netheravon, Enford, Durrington (including Larkhill), Milston, Bulford, Cholderton, Wilsford & Lake, The Woodfords and Great Durnford. It encompasses the secondary schools The Stonehenge School in Amesbury and Avon Valley College in Durrington and includes primary schools which feed into secondary provision in the Community Areas of Durrington, Lavington and Salisbury. However, the School Planning Area (SPA) is based on the area(s) served by the Secondary Schools and covers schools in the towns and surrounding villages which feed into either The Stonehenge School in Amesbury or Avon Valley College in Durrington.

Affordable Housing - Ian Gillespie gave a general and comprehensive presentation on his organisation’s ability to deliver affordable housing in rural community areas. Information booklets were left with the Clerk containing further details. Wilshire Councillor Mike Hewitt gave his report – Wiltshire Council ward boundary review - Councillor Hewitt advised the meeting of the latest Wiltshire Council ward boundary divisions proposed by the Local Government Boundary Commission and that a further consultation was underway, with the deadline for responses to be sent to the Boundary Commission by 29th July. It is proposed to include Gomeldon village in the new Old Sarum & Lower Bourne Valley ward and proposed to include the rest of Idmiston civil parish in the new Winterslow & Upper Bourne Valley ward. As the civil parish boundaries remain unaltered thus the parish would be split between two wards and two Area Boards as well. Following a short discussion which demonstrated the councillors’ strong objection to these proposals, it was agreed that residents should be alerted as soon as possible, and a petition should be circulated for signature for submission to both Wiltshire Council and the Boundary Commission.
