Ask the Leader event coming to Alderbury

Friday, 1 September 2023 01:00

Wiltshire Council has announced its latest 'Ask the Leader' event, which will be held in Alderbury.

It's a series of community events across the county where people can ask questions and find out more about the work of the council.

Events are being held in each community area so that they are convenient to attend and questions are relevant to the local area. The next event will take place at Alderbury Village Hall on 26th September from 6 pm to 7.30 pm.

People are encouraged to ask any questions about the council, its objectives and priorities, and the challenges ahead. The events are an opportunity to put questions directly to the Leader of the Council, Cllr Richard Clewer, and hear his thoughts and plans for the future.

Previous events have taken place in Chippenham, Devizes, Westbury and Salisbury.

Cllr Richard Clewer, Leader of Wiltshire Council, said: “Thank you to everyone who has come along to an Ask the Leader event so far this year. It’s been really valuable to hear more about key local issues and discuss possible solutions.

“The next event takes place in Southern Wiltshire on 26 September 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 local communities. If you can’t make the event but would still like to ask a question, you can submit it in advance to communications@wiltshire.gov.uk”
