Our priority neighbourhood project teams have been hard at work hosting several events and community action days in Westbury and Warminster, as our priority neighbourhoods for 2023-2024. We took on board feedback from residents in both areas and our teams have worked hard to address several points that came up, including tidying up green areas, getting rid of rubbish and keeping sheltered housing residents updated.
A full list of what ‘You said we did’ in each area can be found on our website: ecs.page.link/ofVbQ
