Highway England Drop-In Events: Not Quite Your Last Chance To Attend

STOP PRESS: Highways England informed us last night that, due to the inclement weather causing two of the drop-in sessions to be cancelled, two more would be scheduled; one in Mere and one in Salisbury.

The new event at Mere will be held at Mere Lecture Hall, Salisbury Street, Mere, BA12 6HE, 14.00 to 20.00, Friday 13 April 2018.

The new event at Salisbury will be held at St Paul’s Church, Fisherton Street, Salisbury, SP2 7QW, 11.00 to 17.00, Saturday 14 April 2018.

You can also go to the following event this coming Friday

Friday 23 March 2018 14.00 to 20.00 Antrobus House 39 Salisbury Rd, Amesbury, SP4 7HH

Importantly, the deadline for receipt of responses has been extended to Monday 23rd April to compensate.   Highways England advise that all other scheduled milestones will remain the same.

Finally, you will have an opportunity to raise issues again with Highways England staff at the Annual Parish Meeting on Monday 26th March 2018 at 6:00 pm in the Education Suite of the Stonehenge Visitor’s Centre.  The agenda can be found here.

The meeting will start with a 20 minute presentation by Highways England to set the scene, followed by the Chairman highlighting any issues relating to the scheme (and there are several) that have already been brought to our attention and that will be referred to in the Parish Council response.

From that point onwards, the meeting will be opened up to Electors of the parish. We hope you will come along and participate. We hope it may help you identify issues that you want to raise with Highways England yourselves in your own responses to the statutory consultation.

We strongly urge you to attend so we can gain a better idea of the collective view of villagers.
