Our next Sustainable Warminster general meeting is on Wednesday 4th November, from 7pm to 9pm at The Wellbeing Hub, 36 High Street, BA12 9AF. There will be snacks available, and the bar will be open, too!
The meeting scheduled for 7pm on Thursday 25th June, at the Warminster Civic Centre, has been cancelled, and will have to be rescheduled. Apologies for the short notice.
This is due to the Red Warning of Extreme Heat issued for Thursday.
This was the follow up meeting for the Peoples Emergency Briefing, held at the Atheneum.
A new planning application has gone in to Wiltshire Council, for up to 49 houses on this piece of land. This is a very biodiverse area, linked to a nature reserve, an SSSI, and the Wylye which is within the River Avon Special Area of Conservation.
Planning Reference PL/2026/03045. Consultation deadline is 10th July 2026
To make a comment to be considered by the planners, you can go to the Wiltshire Council planning site, here.
Join Sustainable Warminster for a screening of the People’s Emergency Briefing – an eye-opening film bringing together nine leading UK scientists and experts with the latest evidence and why it matters for things like:
🌧️ Extreme weather 🍞 Food security 🏥 Health 💷 Cost of living
The film is based on the National Emergency Briefing in Westminster (featured by ITV, Channel 4 and The Times) with appearances from Chris Packham, Deborah Meaden, and a range of voices from across the UK. A short trailer is here.
After the film there will be a short open discussion about what it means for our community and what we can do locally.
We will be inviting Dr Andrew Murrison MP, along with local town councillors, and are optimistic that they will join with constituents for this important discussion about our future. Bring a friend, neighbour or family member: everyone is welcome.
Note: the film is only being shown at in-person screenings and is not available online.
