Ernie Clark. Hilperton Division, Wiltshire Council.

This was my follow-up question at Wednesday evening's meeting.

'Assuming that the 'backstop' date (i.e. 22nd August 2016) will be the completion date for the road, by which date will Wiltshire Council expect work to start? i.e. How long will the council give Persimmon to finish building the road and opening it to the public?'

The answer was:-

'They (Persimmon) have to have it completed by the backstop date. We will take a view next April when we receive the updated list of house completions and see how far off we are from the target number and then start prodding them as to when they intend to start.'
