Changes for local community engagement managers

To ensure Wiltshire Council’s community engagement managers continue to support and empower local communities, while recognising ongoing budget pressures, the team has recently undergone a restructure.

Wiltshire Council said, “We are pleased to confirm that Westbury’s new community engagement manager is Graeme Morrison – 01225 713573 or graeme.morrison@wiltshire .gov.uk who will be taking over from Liam Cripps. 

 “The new team is currently going through a handover period and will officially start in their new areas on Monday 4th March. They are all looking forward to starting and are already beginning to introduce themselves to their new contacts.”

Liam Cripps said, “I have throughly enjoyed my time in Westbury and have met some wonderful people and worked with some incredible community groups. I am looking forward to the challenge and opportunity of moving my role to Trowbridge and I leave you in the very capable hands of Graeme and I hope you will make him feel as welcome as I felt.”

Wiltshire Council continued, “The team will continue to work closely with the local area boards to bring local decision making into the heart of the community and discuss issues that are important to local residents. They will also continue to support the award of grants to community groups, a scheme which has seen so many success stories over the years.”
