'Ask the Leader' event to be held in Corsham as Leader visits over half of Wiltshire's community areas

Wiltshire Council is continuing to host its series of community events across the county where people can ask questions to find out more about the work of the council, with the Leader of the Council having visited 11 of Wiltshire's 18 community areas so far.

The next event takes place in Corsham in the Tippett Room at Springfield Community Campus on 22 April 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, Cllr Richard Clewer, and hear his thoughts and plans for the future.

Previous events have taken place in Chippenham, Devizes, Westbury, Trowbridge, Salisbury, Southern Wiltshire, Calne, Melksham, Warminster, South West Wiltshire and Malmesbury.

Cllr Richard Clewer, Leader of Wiltshire Council, said: "Thank you to everyone who came along to the Malmesbury Ask the Leader event earlier this month. It was really valuable to meet residents face-to-face and discuss possible solutions to a range of local issues.

"The next event takes place in Corsham on 22 April and I would encourage residents to come along and ask me any questions and find out more about the work we are doing.

"I have visited 11 of Wiltshire's 18 community areas so far and although there are some common themes that we are prioritising, these events have been a great opportunity to tackle issues that are unique to each community area and ensure our priorities reflect those of local communities.

"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."
