Councillor Bill Parks, Warminster North And Rural, writes:
A busy time this week when I attended Upton Scudamore and Chapmanslade Parish Council meetings to listen to the many local objections to the recent application for a Premises Licence for Thoulstone Park, near Warminster.
I was also pleased to meet with the residents in Short Street, nearby, who are most likely to be affected. As their local Wiltshire Councillor, it is important that I listen and represent the people.
The public consultation date has now passed, and I understand that the license is to be determined by the Licensing Committee at County Hall on the August 15th, which I will attend.
Let’s hope that sense prevails and that a clearer understanding of event numbers, type and hours of operation reach a sensible compromise which satisfies the genuine worries of noise disturbance to the nearby communities.
The messages given were all loud and clear!
