Following confirmation of funding from Wiltshire Council Highways and from the AONB, and The Chase and Chalke Partnership, the Parish Council has had further meetings with the nominated contractor and landowners to plan implementation. Works are likely to be undertaken around March. Further information will be published in February.
PARISH PRECEPT
The Council's Precept for 2022/2023 is £10,652. On a Band D property this represents an increase of £3.53/month from the previous year. The Council approved the 2023/2024 precept at its Council meeting on 9 November 2022 at £11,937 but did not approve a Special Precept for Playground renewal in view of the current cost of living issues.
PLAYGROUND
The Council have agreed a strategy that seeks to replace some of the equipment in mid 2024. This gives time to establish a Friends of Broad Chalke Playground Group; consult on equipment requirements and put together funding applications. Anyone that would like to get involved should contact Councillor Martin Altham.
