Infrastructure Funding Statement Infrastructure Funding Statement Appendix C: The CIL Infrastructure List 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020 Published: December 2020 APPENDIX C Wiltshire Community Infrastructure Levy Infrastructure List December 2020 Introduction The CIL Amendment Regulations 2019 abolished the Regulation 123 List and replaced it with the ‘Infrastructure List’, part of the Infrastructure Funding Statement that CIL charging authorities are required to publish annually by 31 December. This is the Infrastructure List. It comprises the infrastructure projects from the Regulation 123 List. They have been split into separate tables of ‘essential’ and ‘place-shaping’ infrastructure. This distinction is set out in paragraphs 4.41 and 4.42 of the Wiltshire Core Strategy. Core Policy 3 priorities essential infrastructure in the event of competing demands. An explanation of why these projects are on the Infrastructure List has been included. For the purpose of this first Infrastructure List, the list of infrastructure projects broadly reflects those in the Council’s Regulation 123 List. While no new projects have been added at this time other than the Trowbridge Bat Mitigation Strategy, some projects have been removed. A final table groups the projects that have been removed and explains why. The List will be updated during 2021 to reflect any new projects that need to be included following a review of the Infrastructure Delivery Plan and the Council’s governance arrangements for prioritising CIL. 1 Essential Infrastructure Essential Infrastructure (As set out in paragraphs 4.41 and 4.42 of the Wiltshire Core Strategy.

  • Swindon Bus Station
    What is this document? We (primarily Lee) have looked at what the bus network might look like under option 24/7 in a pilot area, at the request of Philip Whitehead (meetings March and April 2016) The area selected was from (in the north) the Bath – Corsham – Chippenham – Calne – Royal Wootton Bassett corridor through to the Bath – Bradford-on-Avon – Trowbridge – Westbury – Warminster corridor to the West, covering all of West Wilts, services within that area out to Devizes. There is always considerable overlap across boundaries with public transport services, so you'll find significant services off the edge listed here, many of which are adjustments of ongoing supported services to continue to provide a logical, useful service. The suggestions here reduce the number of vehicle diagrams in the area from 59 to 52 – a saving of around 14%. The number of drivers required would be reduced somewhat less due to extension of some ENCTS time only services to cover journeys to and from work and in the evening and on Sundays and perhaps where appropriate a night bus. In general, very very few places / streets have lost their services, whilst areas such as the Pewsham Estate in Chippenham and Pickwick Road in Corsham see regular buses return, having been withdrawn under the current system. A number of new journey opportunities are provided too (some significant, some making use of much better bus / train connectivity) but there are cases where a change of vehicle will now be needed in place of a through service. Currently commercial services which thrive as “turn up and go” operations remain hardly changed – we are not proposing messing with what works – keeping the good.

  • Robbery and Attempted Murder at Beanacre, Near Melksham
    Robbery and Attempted Murder at Beanacre, near Melksham One of the most audacious acts of robbery, accompanied with violence, that has taken place in the country for a long time past, was perpetrated at Beanacre, a short distance from the Melksham Railway Station, last Sunday evening. The first farm house on the road from Melksham to Lacock is occupied by Mr. Butler; and it appears that for a long time past Mr. Butler, whilst attending his place of worship on Sunday evenings has been in the habit of getting his brother Ralph, who lives nearby, and who himself a married man with a family (but in rather humble circumstances), to remain in the house and take care of its contents. He was so engaged last Sunday evening, when he heard a tap at the front door, and on opening it, he was (according to the account he had since given) somewhat surprised to see his brother-in-Law, Worthy Rich, who had recently been working as a porter in London, and of whose presence in the neighbourhood he had not previously been aware. After the usual salutation of “How are you, Ralph?” and “What’s that you, Worthy?” the brother-in-Law walked in, and the two sat down by the fire. Many minutes however had not elapsed before Worthy suddenly jumped up, seized a blunderbuss that was over the mantel-piece, and with it dealt Ralph Butler a blow across the head, which had the effect of partially depriving him of consciousness. A scuffle however appears to of taken place, in which the blunderbuss was used with almost deadly effect, breaking Ralph Butler’s jaw bone in two places, knocking out six of his teeth, and beating him with such ferocity about the face as to expose the cheekbones, besides inflicting severe injuries at the back part of the head.

  • OCTOBER 2016 Transwilts Earns Designation!
    NEWSLETTER SEVEN – OCTOBER 2016 TransWilts earns Designation! See inside for what it means! 29 th September 2016 – an historic day At the Association of Community Rail Partnership awards evening at Southport, Rail Minister Paul Maynard formally announced that the route between Swindon and Westbury had been awarded Designated Line status. Great Western Railway will continue to operate passenger services. However, it will be with the support of the TransWilts Community Rail Partnership, comprising local organisations, train operators, Wiltshire Council, rail users and other interest groups. The partnership will have direct input in securing better services and station facilities for customers, including Chippenham and Melksham stations, which also fall under the proposals. In presenting the certificate, Mr Maynard said: “The TransWilts line is vital to local communities in Wiltshire and it is right that passengers will now have a greater say in the shape of its future. Designating the line as a community rail service will breathe new life into this route and ensure its long term future. Improved connections between Swindon and Westbury mean better journeys for customers and a boost for the local economy.” GWR managing director Mark Hopwood added: “I am delighted that the TransWilts route between Westbury and Swindon is being recognised in this way. Community rail provides some of our fastest growing and most reliable services, and customer growth in TransWilts services has been exceptional. Building on the six new TransWilts services launched in December 2013, we were very pleased to introduce a further two services in May working in partnership with Wiltshire Council and the TransWilts Community Rail Partnership.
