Welcome to Wilton

💷 Council Grants Awarded 💷

This week, the Town Council has awarded grants to two local community groups:

🍽️ Wilton & District Thursday Club
@WiltonThursdayClub are a weekly social club for people over 60 living in Wilton and the surrounding area. The club is a great opportunity for those who are socially isolated to meet new people.
The Club meets at Wilton Community Centre from 11am to 3pm on Thursdays. The morning consists of refreshments and social activities, before a 2 course hot meal. The afternoon features entertainment such as flower displays, scrabble, music, seasonal photo displays, bingo & quizzes.
The Club is always looking for more volunteers. If you can help, email wiltonthursdayclub@gmail.com or follow them on Facebook for more information

🏏 Wilton Cricket Club
The cricket club play at Castle Meadow throughout the season, and along with training, have matches for both seniors and juniors. With the cost of cricket balls, general subscription costs and insurance costs rising, the Council grant is intended to help them cover their costs while keeping reduced match fees for junior members.
New players are always welcome. To find out more, just pop down to Castle Meadow on a Saturday afternoon.

💐 Garden of Remembrance Works Approved 💐

At Monday`s meeting of the full Town Council, Councillors approved planned works to improve the Garden of Remembrance at our Cemetery on Shaftesbury Rd.

The planned improvements will include:
🪏 Levelling the spoil heap and clearing of overgrown areas
🌧️ Improvements to drainage
🛠️ Replacing the missing sections of the iron railings at the front of the garden, and installing a new fence at the back of the garden

These works will enable us to ensure the Garden of Remembrance is a safe area for tranquil reflection, and will compliment the planned works to improve the drainage and footpaths across the whole cemetery.
