Shape Warminster’s Future” initiative from Warminster Town Council.

Dear Parents/Carers,

We would like to let you know about an exciting opportunity for students to have their voices heard in the â€œShape Warminster’s Future” initiative from Warminster Town Council.

Students are invited to take part in a short survey by scanning the QR code provided. The survey gives young people the chance to share their views on what is happening in Warminster and what they would like to see in the future.

The survey covers a range of important topics, including:

  • Sports and entertainment opportunities
  • Employment options for young people
  • Public transport
  • Supporting local businesses
  • Climate commitments
  • And much more

This is a great opportunity for students to contribute their ideas and help influence decisions that affect their community.

Please encourage your child to take a few minutes to scan the QR code and complete the survey so that their voice can be included.

Thank you for your support.

Kind regards,
