Royal Wootton Bassett residents will have the chance to ask the leader of Wiltshire Council about the work of the organisation at an event next week.

It is the latest in a series of community meetings and will take place at Royal Wootton Bassett Rugby Football Club on Wednesday, October 16, from 6pm to 7.30pm.

People are encouraged to ask any questions about the council, its objectives and priorities, and the challenges ahead.

The events are an opportunity to put questions directly to the leader of the council, councillor Richard Clewer, and hear his thoughts and plans for the future.

Councillor Clewer said: "Thank you to everyone who came along to the last event in Marlborough earlier this month.

"It was really useful to discuss issues and ideas with residents and I am now taking forward the solutions we discussed.

"I have now visited most of Wiltshire’s community areas and it’s been such a valuable experience to discuss areas of concern locally as well as issues relating to the whole county and how these could be resolved.

"If people can’t make the event but would still like to ask a question, they can submit it in advance to communications@wiltshire.gov.uk."
