At the 15 February Cabinet meeting, councillors approved a programme of work to deliver community campuses across the county and – starting with a number of specific community areas over the next two years – to develop and test alternative solutions to the management of public services. Tisbury has been identified as one of the areas to be involved in this first phase of work which is being referred to as the ‘preliminary management project’.
Further background information to the project can be found in the paper presented to Cabinet and the indicative timeline below:
What is a campus?
Community campuses will be developed through input from local people ensuring each campus is as individual as the community it serves. They will provide the services communities need in one easy-to-access location – placing customers and their needs at the heart of future plans.
These campuses could be new buildings or greatly-improved and developed existing buildings. In other cases the proposal is to look at community-run leisure facilities which could be expanded to accommodate additional services or facilities.
The aim is to make maximum and efficient use of the council’s buildings – both new and existing – and create campuses that deliver more for local communities.
Tisbury Shadow Community Operations Board
The Tisbury Shadow Community Operations Board (Shadow COB) has been formed by the area board to represent the community throughout the development of the proposals for a community campus for Tisbury. The Shadow COB consists of an area board member, a parish council representative and members of various community groups to make sure it can represent the local community area effectively.
An update on the progress of the Shadow COB will be given at each area board meeting and notes of the Shadow COB meetings are available on this website.

Tisbury Campus Consultation
The Tisbury & Parishes Community Area Partnership (TAPCAP) has been asked by the South West Wiltshire Area Board and the Tisbury Shadow Community Operations Board to consult with local residents on the proposal for a community campus for the Tisbury area. Postal surveys have been sent out to all households within the Tisbury community area plus some additional neighbouring parishes in order to seek the views of local residents on a community campus for Tisbury.
This initial phase of consultation closed on the 29th of July and the results will be used to develop an outline proposal for a Tisbury campus, which will be presented to the South West Wiltshire Area Board at 7pm on 24 August 2011, East Knoyle Village Hall.
The Tisbury Shadow Community Operations Board will be looking to consult and engage further with local people over the coming months.
