RESIDENTS will be able to have their say on county issues during an event next month.

On February 14, Castle Meadow Pavilion, in Wilton, will host Cllr Richard Clewer – leader of Wiltshire Council – for an Ask The Leader event.

The session is one of a series of gatherings being held in each community area.

The Wilton event will run from 6pm to 7.30pm and people are encouraged to ask questions about the council, its objectives and priorities, and the challenges ahead.

Previous events have taken place in Chippenham, Devizes, Westbury, Trowbridge, Salisbury, Southern Wiltshire, Calne, Melksham and Warminster.

Cllr Clewer said: “Thank you to everyone who came along to the Warminster Ask the Leader event earlier this month, it was great to speak to people and hear about the issues they are passionate about and discuss what more can be done in these areas.

“The next event takes place in South West Wiltshire on 14 February 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 are a great way to ensure our priorities reflect those of our 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.”
