Thank you to the scores of residents that came along to the public meeting.  I fully understand the frustration that is being caused by these proposals.

One question has come clear from many residents:  Why did Wiltshire County Council not consult residents across Wiltshire on these proposals?  A question asked by me at the county council meeting to decide the “One Council” bid several months ago.  The administration refused outright to consult residents.  Somerset County Council did consult; some 83% voted against!

Harnham residents are now preparing their objection submissions to the Boundary Committee, who will report their “Final recommendation” in late November/December.
