A new supported living scheme for adults with learning disabilities which provides support so they can be independent and be part of the community, has opened in Salisbury.

Wiltshire Council has issued a £400 fixed penalty notice (FPN) to a Swindon resident who paid an unlicenced person to dispose of their domestic waste. The waste was subsequently fly-tipped in a layby in Winterbourne Monkton, near the Avebury World Heritage Site, and was inspected by Environmental Enforcement Officers.

Wiltshire Council will be seeking to work with a specialist contractor to help deliver energy efficiency measures to up to 175 existing homes in the county.

Wiltshire Council's Shared Lives service has been rated as Good in its recent inspection carried out by the Care Quality Commission.
