“Dear all,
I would like to thank the village once again for its generosity towards the RNLI. My recent door-to-door collection around the village raised £220.64 for the Lifeboats. My fellow fund raisers were also out in other local villages in the same period in June and, together, we raised £1276.
The RNLI neither asks for nor gets any Government support, preferring to be master of its own destiny (imagine – if Government funded, the RNLI would probably be closing stations now, like the Coastguards have been forced to). The organisation costs around £140M per year to run and it is through the generosity of many individuals like yourselves throughout the UK that this remains possible.
Best wishes,
Jeremy Retford,
4 Kingsmeadow”

Young people will also have the opportunity to attain their Arts Award Bronze or Silver all for FREE. We’re not just looking for dancers, we would also like young historians, textiles students and media experts to join the team to support the project on multiple levels.

Wiltshire Council will be introducing a charge of £40 per year for the fortnightly collection of garden waste. The new collections will start from 15th June 2015 – free collections will continue until then.
Residents can sign up for the new collections at any time from 1st April – Wiltshire Council are encouraging people to sign up by 17th May to make sure your garden waste bin is emptied from 15th June onwards. This is an optional service; you would only pay if you would like to receive a fortnightly collection of garden waste. Garden waste bins will be emptied fortnightly, except for two weeks over the Christmas and New Year period.
From 1st April there are three ways you can sign up and pay for the service:
Securely online by debit or credit card
Over the phone by calling 0300 456 0102
By sending a cheque for £40 made payable to Wiltshire Council to: Waste Management, Wiltshire Council, Bythesea Road, Trowbridge, Wiltshire, BA14 8JN. Please write your name, address, including postcode, phone number, and the words ‘garden waste’ on the back of the cheque.
Once you’ve signed up, you will be sent a garden waste sticker to place on your bin to help identify which households have paid. Your garden waste collection day may change, but you will be given your new collection dates before the new service starts on 15th June.
Residents who do not want to sign up can keep their bins in case they change their minds, or can ask for them to be retrieved.
