👷♂️ Invitation to Tender Reminder 👷♀️
There are just 10 days left for contractors to submit a baseline tender for our planned improvements at Castle Meadow.
The improvements will take place in two phases:
1️⃣ Improvements to the compound shared by the Pavilion, Wilton Men`s Shed, Wilton Carnival and our Flood Wardens. These works will include levelling the compound, installing foundations and new storage containers.
2️⃣ Improvements to the car park including new surfacing, accessibility improvements and new lighting. Final design of this phase is still subject to approval by Full Council.
There is a requirement for contractors to undertake a site visit prior to submitting a proposal. You can find more information, including the Scope of Works and planned layouts for phase 1, on our website:

👮♂️ Speeding Enforcement: May 👮♀️
At Monday`s meeting of the Town Council, Wiltshire Police`s Neighbourhood Policing Team reported the outcome of their speed enforcement sessions on The Avenue on 6th May.
🚔 During the session, 30 vehicles were recorded exceeding the posted 30mph speed limit, with a maximum speed recorded at 59mph.
👨⚖️ 27 drivers were offered a speed awareness course, 2 were issued a Fixed Penalty Notice and three points on their licence. 1 driver was referred to court.
💡 They also noted a number of vehicles flashing their headlights to warn other drivers approaching the speed enforcement area, and wanted to remind drivers that this does not help change driving behaviours or increase road safety in the long-term.
Wilton Town Council, with our volunteers, look after Speed Indicator Devices in our town. These devices record speeds and traffic volumes, and we can then use this data to help influence roads to be targeted for speed enforcement or additional traffic calming measures.
