It’s always a struggle following the Christmas break to get back into the swing of things, but we’re looking forward to the year ahead.
This week we’ve been finalising the draft budget with cabinet, in readiness for the committee meetings where the proposals will be presented and discussed. We will of course share the proposals and most importantly the context for them.
Maltings milestone
 |
| The proposed development |
A great start to 2019 is the major milestone of the Salisbury Maltings regeneration plans. A planning application for an 86-bedroom hotel, new library space, gym and restaurant has been submitted for this first phase of a multi-million-pound development. This really exciting project investment demonstrates the confidence in Salisbury as a location that has so much to offer to visitors and tourists.
Cold weather preparation and primary school places keeping teams busy
We just wanted to recognise teams as they head into a particularly busy period. The highways teams have already been in action this week with Wiltshire as a result of the cold snap. They are gritting the roads to ensure that the county can keep moving. We would like to reinforce the advice that they regularly issue to motorists - please always drive to the conditions.
And, with the deadline to register your child’s primary school choices looming next week, our school admissions team will begin the allocation process. This is a huge piece of work that affects many families across the county but our team always do an excellent job.
More time to feedback
Finally, you will hopefully be aware that the deadline for you to respond to the Staff Engagement Survey has been extended. We are committed to listening to your feedback and to taking action to deliver improvements based on what you tell us. If you haven’t already, please take a few minutes out to complete the survey. The deadline is now Monday 21 January.
Alistair, Carlton and Terence
