Warminster Town Council Has Given £35,000 To Warminster Athenaeum
Thursday 16th January 2025
Press release from Warminster Town Council:
Warminster Town Council has awarded significant investment to upgrade Warminster Athenaeum.
In line with the recommendations of the CIL Working Group, councillors approved £30,000 for stage technology upgrades and £5,000 for emergency roof repairs with money coming from the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL). This was match funded by a grant of £30,000 from the Department of Culture, Media and Sport.
The investment will allow Wiltshire’s oldest working theatre to purchase a new lighting desk, dimmer packs and replace microphones – enabling Warminster Athenaeum to maintain existing enthusiastic groups and continue to attract high quality touring acts to the town. Additional funding will be spent repairing the roof damaged in Storm Darragh, protecting the building for the future.
The decision was made by councillors at a Full Council meeting on Monday 13th January and is part of a wider aim of investing in and maintaining Warminster assets – making the town an attractive place to live and work.
Cllr Steve Jeffries said: “I was thrilled that the town council has voted to award this essential funding to the Athenaeum. This funding will allow the Athenaeum to upgrade and replace existing out of date equipment, with modern energy efficient replacements, which will enable this wonderful facility to continue putting on brilliant shows for the local community.”
CIL is a planning charge payable by developers on any new development. The Warminster Town Council policy is that its share of the CIL should be spent on investment in the public realm and public facilities that support the community.
Warminster Athenaeum will report back to Warminster Town Council on the completion of the project.

Warminster Town Council Approves Funding To Warminster Rugby Club
Thursday 16th January 2025
Press release from Warminster Town Council:
Warminster Town Council Approves Funding To Warminster Rugby Club.
Warminster Town Council has awarded £22,500 to Warminster Rugby Football Club (RFC) for the purchase of new tower lights and a second-hand generator, with money coming from the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL).
Recent bad weather had severely damaged the previous tower lights leaving Warminster RFC with limited training options.
The investment will help grow the popular club in Folly Lane – allowing further training sessions for both the youth and women’s team, allowing them to train any day or evening of the week.
The Club will continue to host other events including Warminster Archers, Warminster Bridge club, children’s jungle gym and baby sensory sessions.
The decision was made by councillors at a Full Council meeting on Monday 13th January.
Cllr Steve Jeffries said: “I am delighted that the town council has voted to support Warminster Rugby Club.
“This essential funding, which will purchase a generator and additional mobile flood lights, will enable the club to offer more training sessions to the youth and women’s teams, and make better use of all the facilities available at the club rather than overusing the pitch with the current limited floodlights.”
CIL is a planning charge payable by developers on any new development. The Warminster Town Council policy is that its share of the CIL should be spent on investment in the public realm and public facilities that support the community.
Warminster Rugby Club will report back to the Warminster Town Council on completion of the project.

Prattley Sheep Handling System Stolen From The Warminster Area

PLEASE SHARE!
Last night our Prattley sheep handling system was stolen from the Warminster, Wiltshire area. It’s fairly old with a brand new winch, so quite unique. I don’t expect to see it again but if people can share this we might make it too hot to handle!
