There is a proposal from Dorset & Wilts Fire service that Ramsbury fire station be closed.

The matter has gone to consultation and the consultation can be found at:

If you wish to object to the proposal it will help to write to Fire Authority members personally. Their addresses can be found at

 Also useful to write to James Sheppard and Danny Kruger.

There will be consultation meetings in Ramsbury Memorial Hall on Monday March 2nd at 6pm -8pm and Tuesday March 3rd at 10.30am -12.30am

From 20/1/26 for approx 6 months there will be a temporary experimental one way system in Union Street at the request of residents.

The Parish Council will monitor the effect on traffic in Union Street and in the village.

Traffic will be allowed to travel south to north(Newtown Road to Oxford Street) and not the other way. This applies to all traffic including vehicles belonging to Union Street residents. The Parish Council welcomes constructive comments about the new system in order that we may evaluate the effect on other traffic.

Wiltshire Council has reconsidered their proposal to withdraw funding from volunteer transport and have sought to find funding elsewhere so the funding for volunteer transport is safe for this year

This garden furniture was left on the Community Orchard weekend of Feb 7th 8th It is in a decrepit state and we would please like the kind? person who deposited it to remove it and take it to the tip if they no longer require it.

There was also an incident of petty vandalism in the public loo at the beginning of February-throwing wet paper at the walls and ceiling etc. If you have any idea who may have been responsible for this infantile behaviour please contact the Parish Council
