It was an exciting day for Melksham today (1 August), as Melksham Community Campus opened to an excited public for the very first time - offering a variety of leisure, library and community services.

The formal transfer from Wiltshire Council to Cricklade Town Council has been completed

Wiltshire Council has worked with local leisure facility partners Places Leisure, Cricklade and District Community Association and Brian Whitehead Sports Centre Association (Downton Leisure Centre, operated by Gymies Ltd) to apply for support funding from the Government's National Leisure Recovery Fund and have been allocated £865k.

Following government confirmation that Step 2 of the roadmap will proceed, all 20 leisure centres across the county will reopen from Monday 12 April

The centre should open in Autumn 2022

Locals will notice activity on the Melksham Community Campus site in January, with archaeological work set to get under way as preparations for full construction continue.

Our Wiltshire Wellbeing Hub will continue to provide support from Monday to Friday, but is no longer running at weekends.
