Should we exploit the motorway?

Wiltshire Council has approved what it calls a 'jobs led' planning document for the county. However a suggestion that the one spot in the county which would be most attractive for employers - junction 17 of the M4 at Chippenham - should be developed, was rejected by the council. So whilst Swindon profits from its position on the M4 corridor Wiltshire ends up with scattered employment allocations which are unattractive to potential employers.

Wiltshire Council - the budget

The good news is that your Council Tax bill will not increase this year. The government has given Wiltshire Council a grant to allow it to freeze the rate. With the police and fire services also freezing theirs the only element which might increase is the town or parish council, which is usually only a tiny part of the whole bill.
