Considering standing in this year’s local elections? Please join us for local elections webinar for prospective local election candidates

We are hosting a webinar on Tuesday 11 February from 6pm – 7pm to give prospective candidates and agents all the information they need ahead of May’s local elections.

The webinar will be an opportunity for those considering standing for election and their representatives to hear from our election team directly, including the Returning Officer, and have any questions answered.

The Wiltshire Council Unitary Election and town/parish elections take place on 1 May.

This will be a useful session for all those considering standing for election this year. We’ll have people on hand to answer any questions and talk through the process of nominating and everything to consider so that the election is as smooth an experience as possible for everyone involved.

We're continuing our zero tolerance approach to fly-tipping and littering in 2025

We're reinforcing our commitment to tackling environmental crime in the county, with two recent incidents of fly-tipping and littering resulting in fixed penalty notices (FPNs).

Come along to the final in a series of Ask the Leader events at The Vale Community Campus in Pewsey on Thursday 30 January from 6pm to 7.30pm and ask Cllr Richard Clewer, Leader of Wiltshire Council, any questions you have about the local community, the work of the council and plans for the future.

We held our second and final Local Transport Plan (LTP4) webinar this week, Monday 13 January, and if you missed it you can watch it again on our YouTube channel.

There is still time to take part in the LTP4 consultation, which ends on Friday 24 January, so please do let us know what you think.

Could you be a #LitterHero and take part in this year’s Great British Spring Clean?

We're working alongside Idverde to ask community groups and schools around the county to take part in the Great British Spring Clean this spring.

The Great British Spring Clean is the nation’s biggest mass-action environmental campaign. Now in its tenth year, it will take place between 21 March and 6 April and we're encouraging local community groups, schools and organisations to be #LitterHeroes by getting involved.
