  • Anti-social hotspot patrols. Sadly, the summer is coming to an end, with a little more rain than a lot of us would like! For us, we have had a successful summer with the introduction of government-funded anti-social behaviour (ASB) hotspot patrol initiatives. This funding has allowed us to put additional resources into patrolling the top ASB areas in our town. As a result, looking at what the public tells us during our consultations, crime reports and monthly statistics, we have not seen the usual ASB flare-ups we commonly do over the summer months.

  • . The Berryfield Village Hall committee is looking for volunteers to help with the running of the hall. “We welcome volunteers to help with opening the hall for some bookings and organising our moveable partition,” says Shona Holt, chair of Berryfield Village Hall Trust. “Our weekly rota is variable and no fixed commitment is required.” Anyone one interested and any residents of Berryfield are invited to attend the Berryfield Village Hall AGM on Wednesday 4th September at 7pm. Complimentary tea and coffee will be available. Any person aged 18 and over is eligible to join the committee. “A report will be given on the work of the hall committee over the past 18 months since the hall officially opened in 2023, along with the latest financial account statement,” added Shona. “You will also see our recent installation work of acoustic panels and air conditioning. “If you are interested then please email berryfieldvillagehall@outlook.com to find out more or come along to the AGM.

  • New critical care car for Wiltshire Air Ambulance. A new critical care car has been unveiled by Wiltshire Air Ambulance, partly funded by a grant from the HELP Appeal. The Volvo XC90 has arrived at the airbase in Semington and is ready to take the charity’s critical care paramedics to emergencies across Wiltshire. The new Volvo replaces the older model, which was involved in an accident in March while en route to an incident.

  • Canal volunteers delighted by success of open day. An open day on a local stretch of the Wilts & Berks Canal has raised much-needed funds to support its restoration.

The day included a pop-up café and tours of the worksite, together with boat rides along the stretch which has already been rebuilt.

  • Melksham Slimming World members run to support cancer charity. Slimming World members in Melksham raised nearly £1,400 for Cancer Research UK by taking part in Bath’s Race for Life last month. Nine members and friends walked, jogged and ran the race to raise money for the charity and remember friends and family members affected by cancer. “In January the team started to train for the event by attending the Melksham parkrun in King George V Park at 9am every Saturday to ensure that the 5km distance of the Race for Life was a comfortable achievement,” said Kathy, the Slimming World consultant at The Guide Hut in Melksham. “Through snow, rain and sun they have attended to give them the confidence and improved weight losses for the event. The team contained four members who have already achieved their target weights and in total the team have so far lost over 18 stone. “Supporting cancer research has helped many members who have either been directly affected by cancer themselves or been affected by friends and family members having cancer. “Coming together as a team has motivated us all to raise money and enjoy the exercise together. In all, the team raised £1,397.22. Read more here: https://melkshamnews.com/melksham-slimming-world-members-run-to-support-cancer-charity
  • Is 16 too young to vote?. In the recent general election, the Labour Party proposed a policy to lower the voting age to 16, an ongoing debate in the country discussing if we should allow more of the UK to be active in the policies and future of the country. The idea to lower the voting age is not new to Labour; it was successfully lowered from 21 to 18 in 1969 by the Labour Prime Minister Harold Wilson with the aim to represent the country more fairly. Following similarly, newly elected Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who has led the party since 2020, supports lowering the voting age further to 16.

  • Free skating and scooting events hailed ‘huge success’ THE free skating and scooting days that took place this month have been hailed as a ‘huge success’ by Melksham Town Council, which partnered with ATBShop Skate Warehouse and the Wiltshire Council FUEL Programme team to put on the event. Around 65 people attended across both dates, which ran on 8th and 22nd August, to take part in the free skating and scooting events led by ATBShop. A free lunch was provided on both days by the FUEL team. The ATBShop team also had a free scooter to give away and Melksham resident Jack Williams was the proud recipient of new ‘Blunt’ scooter, which was presented to him by Melksham Town Mayor, Councillor Tom Price. ATB still has one free scooter to give away and everyone who entered at one of their Wiltshire-based events over the summer will be included in the draw. The winner will be notified at the end of the month. Pictured: Mayor Cllr Tom Price presenting Jack Williams with a new scooter
  • Melksham’s wartime welcome captured in film. Residents can now watch a short film which shows crowds gathering in Melksham to welcome soldiers from the Wiltshire Regiment prior to the First World War, as part of a project bringing local history to life for rail passengers across the region. The project features films accessible via QR codes displayed on posters at 24 stations across the region. Each station’s film explores the history of the local community.

  • Rail disruption as high-speed trains to be diverted through Melksham. Melksham rail passengers are facing an autumn and winter of disruption. Network Rail will be carrying out essential engineering works on the main line between Reading and Westbury which will mean high-speed trains from London to the West of England will be re-routed through Melksham’s single-track line with almost all of the trains that normally call at Melksham being replaced by buses. The changes are scheduled from 17th to 19th September, 11th to 14th November and 10th to 12th December. “The railway through Melksham only survived into this century because of its use as a diversionary route,” said Graham Ellis from the Melksham Transport User Group, “so I have some sympathy with the line returning to its former use. “Nevertheless, I am very disappointed that Great Western have declined our request to stop some trains that will be passing through Melksham in order to provide a service to their customers here. “They tell us that the modern trains are not programmed to allow them to stop here.” The news comes after a summer where Melksham’s weekend train services have been less reliable than hoped, said Graham. “There are a number of reasons for this with the unavailability of staff to work voluntary overtime accounting for the lion’s share of cancellations. “The new government brings new policies and may result in significant changes over the next two years - right across the South West and not just here in Melksham. “The framework is being changed but we are still learning what will happen within that framework.
