TIME is running out to have your say in the campus consultation, which closes on the 29th November.
A community campus in Westbury will shape the way council services and other services are delivered in the town, with the future of the town’s Victorian swimming pool, library and leisure facilities all being considered.
The campus consultation is asking people to choose between three options: council facilities across three sites (the existing pool, library and Leighton Recreation Centre); facilities across two sites (the library and Leighton Recreation Centre); or a new-build single site.
All three options include a library service, indoor and outdoor leisure facilities, youth services, and the neighbourhood policing team. Other elements could include meeting rooms, a clinical room, multi-purpose activity spaces, hot desk spaces for Wiltshire Council staff, children’s play space, and computers.
The community operations board (COB), the steering group behind the development, will be at the Christmas events day on Saturday 23rd November from 10.00am-3.00pm. Paper copies of the consultation are available at the library, or you can find the it online at www.wiltshire.gov.uk/westburycommunitycampus
The COB says it is confident that the campus consultation will help them gather views of a significant portion of the local population. 600 responses have been received so far.
The COB hope to present the results of the consultation at the next meeting of the Westbury Area Board, which will be held on Thursday 12th December, 7.00pm, at the Laverton.
