An election has been called to fill one of two vacant seats on Calne Town Council following recent resignations.
Residents at Kingston House care home in Calne marked the approach to Christmas with a series of events that included live music, trips out into the town and a Christmas party with staff and families.
A large majority of residents responding to a local survey have warned that closing the Lower Compton Household Recycling Centre in 2026 would lead to increased fly-tipping, more waste going to landfill and significant inconvenience for Calne and surrounding communities.
A Calne resident is helping turn preloved fashion into a local movement, with more than 2,000 items of clothing saved from landfill across Wiltshire in 2025.
The Hills Group has donated a total of £1,500 to three local charities this Christmas as part of its ongoing commitment to supporting communities across Wiltshire.
