Angels Swingers Club in Melksham Lives to Fight Another Day
Melksham's infamous swingers club Angels will be temporarily allowed to keep trading by Melksham Town Council. The club opened in October at Avon Enterprise Park, and operates on Friday and Saturday nights as a private members club. Clever co-owner Steve Rumens, of Melksham, has submitted a retrospective application to change the use of the club to 'sui generis', a Latin phrase meaning 'of its own kind', as Wiltshire... -
Mellksham Council Tax Freeze for Third Year Running
Wiltshire Council's financial plan hopes to keep council tax the same for the third year running and invest an extra £14.6m into protecting the county's most vulnerable residents. Charges, including the cost of swimming in council-run leisure centres, would be frozen and major investment into affordable homes, roads and campuses will take place if the plan was agreed by cabinet yesterday 16th February and Full Council on... -

Well-priced Animals Supplies in Melksham
Here's a great bonus for Melksham pet owners - a local website selling cut-price pet medicines and accessories. Their prices are almost guaranteed to beat your local vets and even knock pounds off the prices of flea and tick treatments and wormers bought from Melksham's Countrywide. C&P Medical started out in 1998, the brainchild of ex-City banker Peter Shaw and his brother Chris, who had experience in medical supplies. Now they... -
Sainsbury’s at Melksham in Trouble Again
Wiltshire Council may instigate legal proceedings against giant supermarket Sainsbury's over alleged breaches of building conditions at the newly completed Melksham store. The Bath Road superstore started off on the wrong foot with the people of Melksham when hundreds of trees were chopped down to enlarge the car park. The new shop was opened at the end of November after months of building work. The council has received complaints from...

Melksham's Free CCTV System to be Replaced?
The eight-camera digital CCTV system procured for Melksham at a cost of exactly nothing by Paul Weymouth of Christmas lights fame is to be decommissioned as the Melksham Safety Partnership have got a two-camera system for the rather steeper price of £10,000. Jon Hubbard of the Melksham Lib Dems apparently thought that the system would not be compatible with the new system going up in Melksham and has undertaken to see whether the... -
CCTV for Melksham town centre
Melksham is to have its long-awaited town-centre CCTV. At the area board meeting on Wednesday 14 December, the board approved up to £10,000 of grant funding and the CCTV project plans will now move forward. Colin Goodhind, chairman of the Melksham Area Community Safety Group, will manage the project and the contract will go out to tender. Melksham town council has agreed to give £8,000 of funding to this project... -
Melksham Campus May Be Completed By 2014
Melksham Campus has moved a step closer to reality following the purchase of Melksham House and the Blue Pool site for £250,000. The new sports centre will have a leisure centre, library and swimming pool and is the resut of months of wrangling between various factions in the town. Melksham House was owned by Cooper Tire and Rubber Company. Melksham Town FC and Melksham Rugby Club also have their grounds here and may well have to... -

More Details of the Melksham Town Centre Campus
Wiltshire Council has now confirmed that it will purchase Melksham House and the Blue Pool site in Melksham town centre, currently owned by Cooper Tire. This will be subject to site assessment and negotiating contracts. The infamous Melksham campus will be rebuilt in the town centre! In April of this year Phil McMullen approached Graham Ellis to enquire whether anyone had asked Cooper Avon Tires about their plans for the future.... -
Melksham's Asda Free Bus Fiasco
Wiltshire Council has so far failed to provide a free bus from the town centre to Melksham's new Asda store. Papers show that the Conservatives failed to check the agreements they signed off with Asda and the contract slipped through without provision for a free bus. Local Councillor Jon Hubbard, Lib Dem for Melksham South, said "Whichever way you look at it, this is an embarrassment for the Conservatives. They were more worried...
