Date announced for Warminster 'Ask the Leader of the Council' event

In 2024 Wiltshire Council is continuing its series of community events across the county where people can ask questions to find out more about the work of the council, with the next event taking place in Warminster later this month.

Events are being held in each community area so they are convenient for people to attend and questions are relevant to the local area. The next event will take place at Warminster Library on 24 January, from 6pm to 7.30pm.

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 last year took place in Chippenham, Devizes, Westbury, Trowbridge, Salisbury, Southern Wiltshire, Calne and Melksham.

Cllr Richard Clewer, Leader of Wiltshire Council, said: "Thank you to everyone who came along to an Ask the Leader event in 2023, it has been really useful to meet people face to face and hear their experiences of local issues. We've had some really good discussions around possible solutions to local issues and I've taken these forward following events. In 2023 I held events in eight community areas and I look forward to visiting the rest of the county this year.

"The next event takes place in Warminster on 24 January 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 our local communities. If people can't make the event but would still like to ask a question, they can submit it in advance to communications@wiltshire.gov.uk (opens new window)"
