Westbury Board 1.Ai Westbury Community Area Strategy The strategy for Westbury will deliver a reduction in housing growth compared to historic trends, with a focus on improving facilities, services and job creation. Existing employment in Westbury will be protected and expanded to reflect the wider strategic needs of west Wiltshire. Overall, the town should not seek to compete with the larger nearby centres, but rather consolidate and enhance its existing role and improve linkages with neighbouring settlements.

Possible relocation of the existing school and identification of suitable funding opportunities needs further detailed assessment. This matter may be addressed through a future Westbury town or neighbourhood plan to be led by the community. Westbury town centre enhancement The enhancement of Westbury town centre is a priority for the community who are leading a town planning process and this work is supported by the emerging Wiltshire Core Strategy.

  • 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.

  • Covid-19 Community Groups Directory
    COVID-19 COMMUNITY GROUPS DIRECTORY updated 13 August 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.

  • Results of the National Childhood Measurement Programme for Wiltshire 2016 School Year
    Results of the National Childhood Measurement Programme for Wiltshire 2016 School Year Welcome We are delighted to be presenting this report on the results of the National Child Measurement Programme (NCMP) for Wiltshire as this year has seen a reduction in our local levels of excess weight in childhood. As one of the statutory public health functions of the council, the NCMP provides vital information on levels of childhood obesity that is used to inform service provision and enables us to monitor our progress in tackling obesity. Each year the NCMP measures the height and weight of more than 9,000 children in Reception Year and Year 6 within state-maintained schools with pupils categorised as underweight, healthy weight, overweight or obese. Carolyn Godfrey, Results for the 2016 school year have confirmed that Corporate Director, Wiltshire Council levels of excess weight in Wiltshire continue to be lower than both the South West and England averages. Obesity remains a significant public health challenge however due to its links to future health problems including diabetes and heart disease. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved in making this important programme a success, including our Public Health Nursing teams who carry out the measurement process, the councils public health team and our local schools that continue to support delivery of the programme on their sites.
