20th March 2007 - West Wilts District Council - 7 p.m.
« on: March 08, 2007, 05:24:59 PM »

Extraordinary meeting of West Wilts District council called to try and sort out the train issues from West Wilts to Swimdon, etc.  Public encouraged and indeed the more people we can get along there the better.

At the moment:

1. Put the date in your diary

2. Tell your friends, colleagues, fellow travellers.

3. Watch this space

It bl*** well better be  Grin

Yes - the meeting is concerned with train services from TO and THROUGH West Wilts so if you happen to regularly travel from (say) Chippenham to Salisbury or Frome to Swindon ....

In case you hadn't seen this on their website...

Have your say at a Council/ Committee Meeting

You can speak for up to three minutes per item at meetings, but you must register your intention to speak before the meeting.

You can register to speak by telephoning the Member Support section on 01225 770322, or e-mailing yrhouati@westwiltshire.gov.uk (at least three hours before the meeting) or by completing the registration form outside the meeting room on your way in.

Thanks, Ruth .... I have been told "just register on way in", but it's probably a good idea to pre-register  Wink

Unfortunately I will be unable to attend this evening due to other conflicting priorities. I hope there is a good attendance and WWDC are informed of the consequences of any inactivity on their part if they do not invest their time and effort in ensuring adequate integrated transport in the area.

Those on the council who are more concerned (have vested interests) in specific areas other than a wider view should be identified so that come the next elections I know who to tell to go away when they stand on my door step in a vain attempt to try and get my vote.
