Ernie Clark. Hilperton Division, Wiltshire Council.

Today shopuld see BBLP out-and-about in Hilperton.

When the Conservatives at County Hall stopped the successful 'Parish Steward Scheme' an alternative was rolled out. This sees regular visits by BBLP to each WC Division.

The first of these to Hilperton saw work concentrated on the Towpath/Navigator area clearing scrub, painting the goal on the open space etc. etc.

Today should see the second visit when the overgrown pavement at Painters Mead/Leapgate should be tackled together with other overgrown walk/cycleways on Paxcroft Mead.

Other work which should occur is the cutting (finally!!) of the Millards Close play area and clearance of the public footpaths running from Marshmead and the one behind the Lion & Fiddle.
