Peter Crouch from GreenSquare advised the Parish Council meeting that plots 1 & 2 are now occupied and plots 3 & 4 will be next and will be ready by June 2020. Three shared ownership properties are due for completion by end of February. Peter advised the damaged kerbs have now been repaired. The drainage connection issue has been resolved and is now being work on. All damage to grass will be repaired before completion of site. Parish Councillors are invited to a viewing of a finished property on the evening of Thursday 5th March before the parish council meeting.
The road through the village has been subject to more damage of late than it can realistically cope with.
The damage caused by GigaClear operations last year, the wetter that usual summer and winter, the heavy traffic and machines delivering and taking away of materials and equipment to Briar Leaze developments, a recent return of the GigaClear contractors and followed by surface repairs on the A3102 sending a lot of traffic through the village reducing it the a standard not seen since the road was made up a hundred years ago.
£3.4 million will be invested in this project to improve the facilities and ensure the long-term sustainability of the centre.
Construction work is due to commence this summer.
The project will deliver a new fitness suite, and the new gym will be twice the size of the existing gym. The wet change facilities will also be entirely reconfigured, delivering a modern village change area.

A sad day for me personally and a great light of the village went out today
After suffering from a heart attack this morning (13th February) Trevor was unable to pull through and left this life behind him.
He had been one of the larger than life characters of the village who I was proud to call my friend since I moved here 18 years ago.
Our thoughts and love go out to Jackie and to their family he has left behind.
As soon as I hear any news I will of course bring it to you as soon as possible.
RIP Trevor
As the dark nights draw in across Wiltshire and winter really starts to bite, it's worth thinking about how we can all make sure we're looking after ourselves and staying well over the cold winter months.
The NHS recently launched its annual winter campaign - Help Us Help You - which is here to help make it easier to understand the things you can do.
We all know hospitals and surgeries can be especially busy during the winter months and it can often be tricky to know the best place to go for help, so here's some handy tips to see you though until spring:

Mud on the roads and advice for farmers using public highwaysWe are receiving many reports from drivers about dangerous conditions being created by mud being deposited on the roads.
This is not an uncommon problem at this time of year given the weather conditions and the agricultural community working hard in the fields. Unfortunately, the farmers and contractors may well be bringing significant amounts of soil from the fields and onto the road network whilst going about their normal business.
We have a diary of the church service times and for special events of the Christian Calendar which we update regularly.
