dannyhowell.net is happy to publicise the need highlighted earlier by Al Wright with regards Warminster residents (indeed all Wiltshire residents) being alerted to the opportunity to make their views known in the public consultation by Wiltshire’s Council for its draft document on Local Flood Risk Management Strategy.
As Al mentioned to us, previously, “None of the other supposed community websites are publishing the details, so how can anyone respond to the request to comment as part of the consultation. Warminster Town Council have not issued any details. There has been nothing in the local press. Not even in the Wiltshire Times. There have been no details on the Vision For Warminster website*, likewise nothing on the East Boreham Residents Action Group (EBRAG) web pages. Nor anything from Warminster Civic Trust. www.wiltshire.gov.uk only has the information under consultation so unless you knew a Local Flood Risk Management Strategy (LFRMS) document had been drafted you would not know there was a consultation going on.”
To read the Local Flood Risk Management Strategy (LFRMS) draft document go to:

To comment on the above or provide flood information go to:

* Vision For Warminster has now published Al Wright’s correspondence about flooding issues in Warminster and the need to publicise the draft document consultation with regard Local Flood Risk Management Strategy. www.dannyhowell.net has also published Al Wright’s request that Warminster Town Council publicise this consultation so that residents of Warminster and neighbouring villages can make their views known. We must hope that the Warminster Journal and the Wiltshire Times bring this to the attention of their readers too. This may also prompt the various community websites to follow suit.
