Armed Forces Day Ceremony
I was honoured to host a flag raising ceremony at Borough Hall yesterday to mark Armed Forces Day, which is approaching on Saturday. Armed Forces Day helps to raise public awareness of the contribution made by those who serve and have served in Her Majesty's Armed Forces, and gives us an opportunity to show our support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community, from currently serving troops to Service families and from veterans to cadets. We are therefore always very keen to help mark the occasion, and conducted a flag raising ceremony outside Borough Hall, and the Armed Forces Day Union Flag will be flying here all week. There were a number of representatives of local armed services units and veterans' organisations in attendance, and the standard bearers were impeccable as always.

Another kick in the teeth for Wiltshire young drivers
The Driving Standards Agency has announced that the Theory Test centre in Bath will close on August 31st because it doesn't make enough profit. Young drivers will have to go to Bristol or Swindon to take their theory tests. Ten other centres across the country will also close as the DSA, which has a monopoly on the driving test business, continues to minimise its costs and its service to customers.
