AMESBURY residents will have the opportunity to raise issues with the leader of Wiltshire Council next month.

The Ask the Leader event will see councillor Richard Clewer come to Antrobus House in Amesbury on Monday, December 2 from 6pm to 7.30pm to meet residents and answer their questions.

This is part of ongoing events by Wiltshire Council to give residents the opportunity to speak directly to the leader and ask any questions about the council, its objectives and priorities, and the challenges ahead.

The events are an opportunity to hear cllr Clewer’s thoughts and plans for the future.

Previous events have taken place in Chippenham, Devizes, Westbury, Trowbridge, Salisbury, Southern Wiltshire, Calne, Melksham, Warminster, South West Wiltshire, Malmesbury, Corsham, Bradford on Avon, Marlborough, Royal Wootton Bassett and Cricklade and Tidworth.

Cllr Clewer said: “Thank you to everyone who came along to the last event in Tidworth.

“As has been the case with all the events so far, it was really useful and productive to look in detail at areas of local concern and what can be done to resolve them.

“I have now visited most of Wiltshire’s community areas and it’s been such a valuable experience to discuss our approach and hear your ideas.

“The next event takes place in Amesbury on December 2 and I would encourage residents to come along and ask me any questions and find out more about the work we are doing.

“These events have been a great opportunity to tackle issues that are unique to each community area and ensure our priorities reflect those of local communities.

“If people can’t make the event but would still like to ask a question, they can submit it in advance to communications@wiltshire.gov.uk.”
