The agencies on Wiltshire’s Public Service Board have committed to working more closely together and rationalising estates so that we can focus on: • Delivering integrated customer focused services and community facilities • Reducing demand, running costs and generating capital receipts • Creating economic growth – releasing land for jobs and housing and regenerating our towns and villages This means increasingly close working between public, private and voluntary organisations in the county to achieve better outcomes for the people of Wiltshire. Our work to date - combining five councils into one, delivering a strategic partnership between Wiltshire Council and Wiltshire Police (covering a joint ICT platform, co-located services and a Multi- Agency Safeguarding Hub) and developing the first phase of the Health and Wellbeing Community Centre in Corsham - has shown that we can genuinely transform service delivery. Equally, our close work with partners in the armed forces has meant we are continuing to unlock significant sites to deliver economic growth. We have big ambitions but can also deliver at scale and pace. Equally our deep and strong relationships with the armed forces community, including the DIO and MOD, means that we are constantly identifying and unlocking significant sites to deliver economic growth. The forthcoming MOD Foot Print Strategy will be of critical importance to us going forward. We have a clear model for the rollout of Health and Wellbeing Community Centres across Wiltshire to achieve our outcomes – working with the local community to develop integrated care teams clustered around GP surgeries in each town – so that joined up services are delivered closer to where people live. Health and Wellbeing Community Centres are not intended to just encompass NHS and social care services. They are to include leisure facilities, library services and community facilities; and sit alongside the provision of extra care housing wherever possible. We are also exploring incorporation of emergency services – police, fire and ambulance - within the sites together with front facing staff from other relevant council services, the VCS and DWP. In some respects, co-location of services is the end point of our ambition. The starting point is the transformation of our services, accompanied by support for flexible working arrangements, excellent IT infrastructure and the delivery of real cultural change. Our attentions are now turning to further joint working opportunities with the reconfigured fire service, with the Local Enterprise Partnership and other public sector bodies. Our bid to the One Public Estate programme is intended to catalyse progress further across the board – supporting the development of sound underpinning evidence for our programme, highlighting additional opportunities to release estate to boost growth, aligning our strategies and removing barriers to the delivery of our collective ambitions. Baroness Scott of Bybrook, OBE Leader of Wiltshire Council Chair of Wiltshire Public Service Board Sharing Wiltshire’s space: One public estate 3 Setting the Scene Wiltshire Council, with its partners, has already come a long way in improving services and making savings through our estate. Our aim for the future is to build on this and, through our Public Estate Partnership and support through the One Public Estate programme, accelerate the delivery of our Health & Wellbeing Community Centres and unlock housing and jobs in publicly owned sites that are freed up or become surplus, including those held by the MOD. The timeline below summarises our journey so far, demonstrating our track record of delivery. This is explored in more detail later in this document. (Page 25) The next section of our bid focuses on what we plan to deliver through One Public Estate, and the potential outputs we expect to achieve as a result. Our ambitious programme, with invaluable One Public Estate support to enable us to deliver at scale and pace, we intend by 2020 to deliver: • 2,771 new homes • 1,810 new jobs • Reduce our overall public estate by up to 31 sites • Secure £22.5m in capital receipts Save the public purse around £600,000. 4 Sharing Wiltshire’s space: One public estate Our story 2006 Wiltshire Military Civilian Integration Partnership established • Aims to identify and respond to the changing military footprint in Wiltshire; maximise the economic contribution of the military; and ensure the needs of military personnel, their families and veterans are met 2009 Wiltshire Council created, combining five councils into one • One Council offers significant opportunities to improve services, drive regeneration and rationalise estate. • Workplace transformation programme agrees reduction of 105 offices into 3 hubs. 2010 Wiltshire Community Campus Programme agreed • Following publication of the Wiltshire Council leisure review, it was agreed to consider improvement of these facilities as part of the council’s operational estate and look at opportunities in each town 2011/12 Business cases for first seven campuses approved • £60m of Wiltshire Council funding is commited, together with an additional £20m from partners. 2013 Strategic Partnership between Wiltshire Council and Wiltshire Police • Joint Transformational Change, Systems Thinking, Programme Management teams set up • Joint IT Solution implemented, enabling access to services across both estates • Co-located neighbourhood police teams in Corsham, Salisbury and Chippenham and Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub in Trowbridge 2013 Army Rebasing Programme • Preparations begin for the return of 4300 troops from Germany - including the Salisbury Plain Masterplan and creation of business enterprise facilities in Castledown 2014 First community campus opens in Corsham • Phase 1 of the Springfield Campus incorporates Leisure, Library, Neighbourhood Police Team, social care and community facilities 2014 Health Estates Partnership • Following demise of PCTs the need for close working relationships on NHS estate was recognised. • Aims to deliver the vision of care as close to home as possible, with services clustered around GPs • Plans for incorporation of a range of health services within ‘Health and Wellbeing Community Centres’ 2015 Combination of Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue Services • The government announcement unlocks a range of new opportunities - including the inclusion of a new HQ within the Salisbury Health and Wellbeing Community Centre, opening early 2016 2015 University Technical College in Salisbury Opens • Former Salisbury Police Station, freed up as part of co-location with the council, is now used to deliver £8.5m UTC sponsored by the MoD and a range of other public and private bodies. 2015 One Wiltshire and Wiltshire Public Estate Partnership • One Wiltshire devolution proposals submitted, including call for simplification of the public estate • Partnership arrangements inclusive of Wiltshire Council, Dorset and Wiltshire FRS, DWP, Police, NHS Partners (Acute, Ambulance, Mental Health, GPs) LEP and for engaging other partners such as MOD, HCA, GPU and Network Rail were agreed. • New estates strategies for Wiltshire NHS, Fire and Police are now under development, aligning to Health and Wellbeing Community Centre model Sharing Wiltshire’s space: One public estate 5 Delivery plan Meeting the pre-selection criteria Wiltshire’s Public Estate Partnership has committed to fulfilling the pre-selection criteria by 31st December 2015.

  • Ancient Market Towns and Beautiful Villages
    Ancient Market Towns and Beautiful Villages Wiltshire is blessed with a fantastic variety of historic market towns and stunning picturesque villages, each one with something to offer. Here are a sample of Wiltshire’s beautiful market towns and villages. Amesbury Nestling within a loop of the River Avon alongside the A303, just 1½ miles from Stonehenge, historic Amesbury is a destination not to be missed. With recent evidence of a large settlement from 8820BC and a breath-taking Mesolithic collection, Amesbury History Centre will amaze visitors with its story of the town where history began. Bradford on Avon The unspoilt market town of Bradford on Avon offers a mix of delightful shops, restaurants, hotels and bed and breakfasts lining the narrow streets, not to mention a weekly market on Thursdays (8am-4pm). Still a natural focus at the centre of the town, the ancient bridge retains two of its 13th century arches and offers a fabulous view of the hillside above the town - dotted with the old weavers' cottages – and the river bank flanked by 19th century former cloth mills. Calne Calne evolved during the 18th and 19th centuries with the wool industry. Blending the old with the new, much of the original Calne is located along the River Marden where some of the historic buildings still remain. There is also the recently restored Castlefields Park with nature trails and cycle path easily accessible from the town centre. Castle Combe Set within the stunning Wiltshire Cotswolds, Castle Combe is a classically quaint English village. Often referred to as the ‘prettiest village in England’, it has even been featured regularly on the big screen – most recently in Hollywood blockbuster ‘The Wolfman’ and Stephen Spielberg’s ‘War Horse’.

  • Wiltshire's Fun Facts • Did You Know Another Series of Poldark Is Being
    Wiltshire’s Fun Facts Did you know another series of Poldark is being filmed this year at Great Chalfield Manor? Other filming includes The White Princess in Lacock and Bradford on Avon and Transformers at Stonehenge. Look out for Wiltshire on your TV/Cinema in 2017! Did you know that Wiltshire has a Grade II Listed Sticke tennis court at Hartham Park, Corsham? Did you know that the Wiltshire Cycleway, Regional Route 20, is 160 miles and takes in some of the county’s most spectacular scenery? It’s best to do in an anti-clockwise direction. There are also two National Cycle Routes passing through South Wiltshire, Numbers 24 and 45. In Cricklade, just off the high street, there is a sign that says “In 1832 on this spot nothing happened!” Wiltshire has some strange named places; Lover (pronounced Lowver), which is famous for its visits by romantics near Valentine’s Day; New Zealand which can be found just off the A3102 south of Lyneham; and Tiddleywink, which is situated just outside Castle Combe. The Kennet & Avon Canal is a total of 87 miles and links London with the Bristol Channel. The Caen Hill Locks are a flight of 29 locks between Rowde and Devizes with a rise of 1 in 44 gradient or 237 feet in 2 miles. Did you know that Salisbury (in 2012) and Chippenham (in 2016) have been awarded purple flag status, meaning that they offer a ‘gold standard’ night life with lower crime and anti-social behaviour? Did you know that Stonehenge attracts over 1.3m people of year? The massive sarsen stones came from Marlborough, 20 miles away, the smaller bluestones from the Preseli Mountains of South Wales, a distance of almost 200 miles.
