Have your say to shape the future of Warminster

Warminster Town Council is inviting local businesses to its first event launching the review of the Warminster Neighbourhood Plan.

The council wants to hear from businesses and community groups about their top priorities for Warminster over the next 20 years.

Consultation has started on Warminster's Neighbourhood Plan Review. In the first week, over 100 people gave their views. The Town Council wants to hear from as many people as possible about their priorities for Warminster. You can complete a short survey to let them know your thoughts. Take the survey at http://www.warminsterplan.com/

Don't let others speak on your behalf, give your own views, it only takes a few minutes.

The survey asks people to think about what Warminster is like today, and to choose your top 5 things that you think should be protected and/or strengthened and/or improved. Issues covered include:

• The Quality and integration of development at the West Urban Extension
• Facilities for young people
• The climate emergency
  • Impacts of COVID-19
  • Town Centre regeneration
  • Traffic
  • Pedestrian and cycle routes
  • Tourist attractions / facilities
  • Biodiversity loss
  • Local housing need / affordability
  • Local employment needs
  • Community facilities and infrastructure

  Since the existing Warminster Neighbourhood Plan was approved, there have been changes in Wiltshire and national policy, and new local issues have arisen. This means Warminster needs to update the existing plan it in order that it maximises its relevance and usefulness.
  This is the very first stage of the public engagement, more will follow. You can keep up to date with progress at: http://www.warminsterplan.com/.
