The Services We Can Assist you With
Here are the services we represent the parish with and may be able to help you find the service you are needing.
Local Area Planning
We represent your views when plans are submitted for approval that affect the village and the area. If you have concerns about a development within the parish then talk to us and we will do our best to help.
Hills Liason Committee
Hills Group run meetings for a liaison committee twice a year covering all of their sites that are in our area and we hold two seats on the committee for Lower Compton site.
Calne Area Board & CATG
We represent you on the Area Boards with a view of bringing local decision making back into the community. CATG is a sub-group of the Area Boards that specifically deals with highway issues.
Road Safety
We look at ways to improve the behaviour of road users through the village. We helped the implementation of the 40mph speed limit, speedwatch and getting better signage to promote the 7.5 tonnes limit.
Health & Well Being
Members of our parish council are able to visit the sick and elderly when a need arises. We can put them in touch with those whose role it is to help or look after them, wherever that is possible.
Parish Steward
Parish Stewards are responsible for looking after the fabric of our village and take care of the smaller issues that arise from time to time. Larger projects are dealt with via a different process. We provide an immediate way of getting messages to the Parish Steward and provide you with feedback.
Village Hall Representation
The generosity of past residents of this parish gave a most excellent village hall for our community. Two parish councillors represent your views and wishes on the management committee to ensure that this asset of the village is run in a manner to enhance our environment for everyone's benefit.
Local Heritage
The parish has an extensive history and some parishioners have acquired a wealth of documentary and photographic evidence to support that history. This resource will be available to everyone to view and the council has a great interest in preserving this facility.
Rights of Way
With such beautiful countryside in our parish and an extensive network of footpaths and bridleways, the parish council actively support their maintenance and repair. We have specific duties for the upkeep of rights of way and will be pleased to hear of any concerns.
Communications
We have the means to get local news in front of you in a variety of ways: the village website, direct emailing, and our periodical hand-delivered newsletter Compton Bassett Matters. Our primary and most responsive connection is through this website.
Neighbourhood Plan
The Neighbourhood plan provides this parish with a positive vision for how we want our community to develop in the future. We work to maintain a relevant plan to protect the integrity of the village and to seek ways to enhance our environment for the good of all who live in it.
Letters of Importance
From time to time the Parish Council send letters to other councils, businesses with an influence in our area, or individuals that we feel we should be sharing with you, and maybe any replies. In time there will be a full library of available documents. But for now there is just a couple./p>
