THE penultimate chapter of visioforwarminster.co.uk has now been written, drafted, re-written, redrafted and published on the site.

It looks at the issue of the environment and concentrates on things which are in the control of the local council and differs from previous chapters in that we are asking for a public steer on policies.

In particular there is a discussion of the issues surround the waste collection service which has been a hot potato across the country and in West Wilts where a number of daft rules have been too strictly enforced and the issue blown out of proportion by some national newspapers.

“Quite why they are called cookies, I don’t know - obviously an American designer who spent too much time watching the Andy Williams Show in the 1960s.”
