Do you want improvements to bus services?
How about an early evening 29 bus to Salisbury arriving around 18.40
and a late return around 22.30 or 22.45? Fridays and Saturdays?
Wiltshire Council have informed us that there is some funding to improve rural bus services, and they would like to have ideas about how our service can be improved. Suggestions can be emailed to buses@wiltshire.gov.uk
Wiltshire Council ask that suggestions reflect that use of this money will need to be spread around the county and so requests for small improvements to existing services are likely to be more successful than those for completely new all-day services, which could cost in the region of £150,000 per annum to operate and be difficult to resource.

Parish Recreation Ground is now closed to dogs from 1st April until 30th September every year.
At the Parish Council meeting on 8th May 2018, regretfully, it was decided to close the Parish Recreation Ground to all dogs from 1st April until 30th September each year. Repeated requests in the Express, on signage on the recreation ground, on this website and in the minutes of council meetings, to the general public to pick up their dogs' excrement have been ignored by some members of the community. The amount of poop has been a danger to children and to the groundman . We thank those responsible members of the public who have picked up over the years, but there are just too many others who do not seem to care.
Who are the Chavs? What do they do?
Coombe Bissett and Homington Active Volunteers are a group of villagers who tackle jobs around the Parish that would otherwise cost the Parish Council to carry out. Their first job was to resurface part of the footpath to Stratford Toney with old road planings to eliminate the mud in wet weather, shown below. They have tackled a number of jobs around the villages since. If you would like to join them, contact the Webmaster whose details are at the bottom of this page.
