When Melksham area board meet on Wednesday 14 December, members will be asked to approve up to £10,000 grant funding for Melksham town centre to have a long awaited CCTV system. The motion proposed by Cllr Jon Hubbard, will be discussed by the board at the meeting which starts at 7pm at Semington Village Hall. In a report to the meeting, Cllr Hubbard said the CCTV would reduce the fear of crime, improve public confidence and reassure residents and local businesses. It would also assist the police with investigations and help increase prosecutions.
Other items on the meeting agenda include an update on the proposed campus from Cllr Roy While, chairman of the shadow community operations board. The group of commmunity representatives are considering the detail of the emerging campus proposal both in terms of design and how it will operate on a day to day basis.
There will also be an update on Extended Services (Melksham), a newly established charity set up by education providers to further support children and young people in the area.
Amongst the request for grants which will be considered are: Wilts & Berks Canal Trust's application for £497 towards renewing the signs of the ‘Lost Waterways of Melksham’ walk which indicate the historic route of the canal through the town Beanacre Cricket Club's application for £1500 towards a roller to prepare the wicket at their new ground in Beanacre. Keevil Parochial Church Council's application for £5000 towards the conservation of table tombs in St Leonard’s churchyard.
Full agenda and papers are now available online.
