  • To represent the community at the Area Board to ensure that Wiltshire Council are aware of the plan’s proposals.
  • To support, where necessary, the delivery of the plan’s outcomes, by identifying appropriate bodies to further the process and by seeking external funding.

Area Boards in Wiltshire: Review 2010
Wiltshire Council has developed a new way of involving people and communities in the local decisions that affect their everyday lives.  Now, your locally elected councillors come together with other important decision makers such as the Police, NHS, MOD, parish and town councils, housing associations, Fire and Rescue Services, voluntary organisations and business representatives to discuss issues with the community before decisions are made.  Meetings are held locally every two months and the public are invited to come along and have a say. 

The Boards are new  - they were launched in June 2009 - and now we want to find out how they are working and where further improvements are needed.   You can help improve the way the Area Boards work by completing this short online questionnaire – it should take no longer then 5 minutes.  Please be assured that all survey returns will be completely anonymous.
