You can make your views known on this proposal up to 11th January 2019. Details on page 18. Remaining on the subject of traffic, as this newsletter is being delivered, Milford Mill Road, from Shady Bower to the Mediaeval Bridge, is closed for six weeks to enable the replacement of gas mains. See page 14 for details. Do you have an older person’s bus pass, but haven’t used it for a while? Wiltshire Council are planning to not automatically renew cards which haven’t been used, see page 17 for details. There’s lots of news about the Castle Hill Country Park. Play areas opened, fences removed, volunteers planting trees and a sample of Kerry lemon’s artwork, all on pages 20-21. Cyber Aware, a government organisation which works to reduce computer crime, has some useful advice on how to deal with fraudulent telephones calls about your computer. See page 31. Each of the three secondary schools in the parish has a Parish Council Civic Re- sponsibility Cup which the schools award each year to the student who has made the best contribution to the community. The cup is inscribed with the winner’s name and a smaller version is also awarded for the winner to keep. See page 33 for the 2018 winners. Details of River Bourne Community Farm’s events for 2019 are on page 34 with plenty of dates for your diary. As we went to print we were saddened to hear of the death of Bill Moss who for many years represented the Bishopdown part of the parish on Wiltshire Council. His obituary is on page 25. We wish all of our readers a happy and peaceful new year. The Parish Newsletter is published six times a year for the benefit of parish residents. However, articles included do not necessarily reflect the views of the Parish Council. Advertisements for any firm or service does not imply a recommendation by the Parish Council.

That is not always the case but communities are important in providing and supporting groups who help those who may be lonely at this time of year. This bimonthly newsletter and the Parish Council’s website carry details of the many groups providing opportunities to meet and enjoy social activities. Please remember those who are vulnerable at this time of year and look out for unexpected absences. Despite the time of year, the developments in our communities go on at pace. The Castle Hill Country Park and its associated play parks are developing well; there is an update on that project in this newsletter including the memorial woodland that was started on the 100th anniversary of the Armistice on 11 November. The Longhedge development continues to grow and we try and ensure all new arrivals receive a welcome pack including the latest copy of our Newsletter, but please let us know if any new arrival has been missed. The playparks are being built and we hope to take ownership of and develop the Community Open Space on the Northern boundary in the next few months. There is an active Residents’ Association for Old Sarum and Longhedge. It is an excellent way to meet some of your fellow residents and get the latest in- formation. However, for it to remain active, it does need support and to keep this key group running they need volunteers to help with the chairing and admin- istration. More details on page 29. Finally, two planning matters to highlight. Please read the report on our sub- mission to the Boundary Commission on their consultation about Wiltshire Council Wards; and the Public Enquiry on the Old Sarum Planning Airfield Ap- plication Appeal will have concluded with its extra days on 18th and 19th De- cember, after this newsletter went to print. Please visit the Parish Council’s website for the latest news from that. I wish you all a fruitful New Year. Laverstock & Ford Parish Newsletter 5 Report on Parish Council Meetings This report covers the meetings held on 15th October and 19th November 2018. The full minutes of these meetings can be viewed on the Parish Council page of our website at www.laverstock-ford.co.uk. At the October meeting the Chairman recorded the resignation of Councillor Hila- ry Davidson and thanked her for her service to the Council. The Council now has only eleven Councillors out of a total of sixteen seats. The Parish is divided (but also united) into three wards. The Laverstock and Milford Ward has a full comple- ment of Councillors. There are two vacancies in the Bishopdown Farm Ward and three vacancies in the Ford, Old Sarum and Longhedge Ward. Being a Parish Coun- cillor is a great way to serve your community. Contact the Chairman or Parish Clerk if you might be interested. A long time was spent discussing an unusual planning application in our parish. There is a process whereby certain agricultural buildings can be converted to dwellings without making a full planning application. This is called a Class Q Per- mitted Development. The owner of a barn on the Laverstock water meadows ap- plied for prior approval of this development but the Council objected for several reasons. The barn is very close to our Community Farm and is still used by them. Apart from its loss to the Farm the Council felt that the new dwelling would be detrimental to the appearance of Laverstock and the surrounding downs. The Per- mitted Development has since been refused. The first draft of a response on the Electoral Review of Wiltshire Council Wards and Councillors was discussed at length. Wiltshire Council has submitted its own response, but every Parish Council has also been invited to share their thoughts with the Local Government Boundary Commission for England. A precis of the de- tailed submission can be read elsewhere in this newsletter. The Clerk introduced a resolution to enable the Council to seal the last legal docu- ment associated with the development of Old Sarum. This will enable the Council to receive over £20,000 allocated for off-site youth and/or adult recreation facili- ties arising from the Local Centre. The Council has now received £126,500 of these funds. £50,000 has been allocated for a new skatepark and £17,600 has been spent on other play and recreation. That leaves £58,900 for other projects at Old Sarum. If you have ideas for new recreation facilities please contact your local Councillor. The External Audit of the Council was concluded in October with no adverse com- ments. It is gratifying that even with an enormous increase in funding and assets the Council continues to manage its affairs effectively and on a frugal budget. An unusual concern was raised to the Council and discussed at the October meeting. A small half-acre plot of land behind Norton Drive in Ford recently dis- played ‘For Sale by Auction’ signs. This half-acre has been treated as public open space and maintained as such by the Council for as long as anyone can remem- ber. It now transpired that the land was never transferred to the Council and is still owned by the original developer. The successors in title to that developer are the Carillion Group in liquidation and the liquidators wantedOld to Sarumsell it. AirfieldThe sale has now been stopped and the Council is looking at ways of bringing it into public ownership. The November meeting started with a grant application by the Laverstock Village Hall. This excellent facility is very well managed and is used by many community groups, but it needs an upgrade to its heating system. This was explained by the Hon Sec of the Village Hall who also spoke in admiration of the new Old Sarum Community Centre where the November meeting was held. The Village Hall was awarded a grant of £600. At the November meeting the Council considered a planning application in the neighbouring Parish of Clarendon Park. The application is for a Change of Use to a Gypsy pitch at the Old Chalk Pit in Petersfinger.

  • Covid-19 Community Groups Directory
    COVID-19 COMMUNITY GROUPS DIRECTORY updated 11 May 2020 1 DM20_295 ONLINE INTRODUCTION The communities of Wiltshire have risen to the challenge of COVID-19 to make sure people are supported through this very difficult time. The council has collated all the community groups we have identified so far so that those who need support for themselves or a loved one can make direct contact. In the time available we have only been able to collate this directory and therefore this is not an endorsement of the groups listed but it is for you to decide what use you will make of the offers of support at this time. If anyone uses a community group and has concerns about the response/practice please inform us by emailing [email protected] giving the clear reasons for your concern. The council wants to ensure that everybody can access the support they need. If you make contact with a group and they cannot help or you do not get a response within the required timeframe, then please do not hesitate to contact the council by emailing [email protected] and we will ensure you get the support you need. FOOD BANKS At this difficult time, food banks are in need of more volunteers and donations. If you are able to help in any way please get in touch with your local food bank. Food banks are there to support vulnerable people in a crisis, which is usually subject to a referral from a trusted source such as a social worker.

    Topic SALISBURY DISTRICT LDF Creating Sustainable Paper Communities Addendum Revisions to take account of Issues and Options Consultation results Supporting communities February 2008 TOPIC PAPER Supporting Communities SUPPLEMENTARY REPORT Executive summary • This paper is a supplementary paper to the original supporting communities topic paper, and has been produced to respond to the consultation responses to the Issues and Options document Our Place in the Future. • A range of priorities and concerns were identified in option 2, ranging from, improving access to health services, providing decent affordable housing, providing community halls, providing sheltered housing for older people and support for services in rural areas. • Questions were asked about ways to help alleviate social exclusion, and whether new development should contribute towards providing access to these services. • Health and welfare was also a key issue, especially in the more rural parts of the district. Questions ranged from new development should contribute to healthcare facilities, they should be locate din accessible locations, that large scale residential care facilities should be provided, or alternatively that smaller, local facilities should be dispersed around the district. • Providing access to services also raised the principles of raising money from developments to help tackle social deprivation, that the larger settlements should have a good range of services, and that to tackle problems faced by low income families that new development should be targeted in these areas, even though this could mean significant development in some rural communities. • Option 26 looked at protecting pubs post offices and shops, with questions on protecting and resisting the change of use of these facilities, encouraging combined uses and that limited development in some settlements may help these facilities stay viable.
