http://wellho.info/3246We are looking for a positive outcode for Melksham and the surrounding area - something that we can all be proud of and make good use of in the wider envrironment. Solutions that fit in with county plans, already passed resolutions, and don't cost the earth - either literally or metaphorically. And solutions that look good - really good - to current and future users too!
a) The meeting on 26th April is an open one. Please come if you're a representative of a business or a group in the town, or an expert who's skills we might be able to use in the co-operative move forward - a vision for Melksham.
b) This Thursday - Maundy Thursday, 21st April - same venue and time (sorry about the short notice - things are moving fast!) a small group of us is meeting to learn some of the background from each other prior to 26th so that we can hone in more quickly on sensible ideas on 26th.
* Please feel free to pass this email on.
* Please come along on 26th if you want to see Melksham move positively forward, and give us your knowledge and support
* If you represent a user group / specific interest and can help more deeply ahead of time, please email me (
