Last chance to have your say in Local Plan consultation
With less than a week to go until the Local Plan consultation closes, we're reminding you to take the time to have your say. Anyone who does not comment at this stage will not be able to participate in the public hearing sessions next year.
The consultation, which runs for eight weeks in total, ends at 5pm on Wednesday 22 November, so there is not much time left for you to share your views. |

Pothole reports
Last week, from 6 November - 12 November, we filled a total of 156 potholes and had 348 reported to us.
When we receive a pothole report, it is assessed by an engineer, and given a priority based on our defect criteria, as set out in our Highways Safety Inspection Manual.
Not all reported potholes meet our defect criteria, and so not all reported potholes are repaired. Some reported potholes will be repaired at a later date, but not immediately as they are of lower priority.
Please report any potholes on Wiltshire’s roads to us using MyWilts. |
