☀ Last Week in Wilton ✨

It`s been a hot and busy week in Wilton this week:

🚀 Last weekend we attended the Wilton Carnival. Along with having an amazing day we had some great conversations with local residents and visitors about what matters to them in our town, and our plans for the rest of 2026.
🎄 With temperatures in the 30s, it seemed like the perfect time to meet with the local community groups, businesses and our events contractor to discuss our plans for Christmas 2026. We`ll be keeping all the bits of the lights switch-on event that make it unique to Wilton, while building the event into something bigger and better (and longer). Save the date for Saturday 21st November!
🏅 The Mayor has been busy too. Along with the Carnival, Cllr Harrison has attended the presidential handover at Wilton Rotary - UK, attended the South Wilts Scouts AGM and later this morning will be opening a new furniture store, @dayandknightbespokefurniture at @wiltonvillage_.
📝 We`ve had a condition report completed on our historic Council Offices to identify maintenance needs and help us budget for remedial works and improvements in the future.
🎨 Works have started on decorating the exterior ground floor of the Council building. This will help protect our old doors against the weather and create a more welcoming entrance for visitors to the offices.
👮‍♂️ We`re looking forward to welcoming the Police & Crime Commissioner to the Town Council meeting on Monday evening to talk about the planned Southern Policing Hub at Old Sarum

See our posts from earlier this week to find out how you can get involved in our meetings, including how to join in from home.
