Date announced for Devizes event where people can 'Ask the Leader of the Council'

Wiltshire Council is hosting a series of community events across Wiltshire 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.

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 and hear his thoughts and plans for the future.

The next event will take place at Devizes Library on Tuesday 28 March, from 6pm to 7.30pm.

The first in this series of events, held in Chippenham on 16 February, was well attended by local residents who shared their concerns about local issues and asked questions on a wide variety of council services and projects.

Cllr Richard Clewer, Leader of Wiltshire Council, said: "I'm really pleased with how many people attended the Chippenham event last month. It was valuable to hear from residents about their experience of local issues and discuss the potential solutions, which I'm now taking forward.

"This month I'll be in Devizes and I'm really looking forward to hearing from local people and getting their feedback on how we can improve services.

"These events are a fantastic opportunity to put your questions directly to me on the issues that matter to you, and for us to ensure that our priorities reflect those of local communities."

People can ask questions at the events or submit questions in advance to communications@wiltshire.gov.uk (opens new window).

Questions and answers from the Chippenham event on 16 February are available at Ask the Leader of the Council.
