Councillors have expressed disappointment at the lack of response to a consultation. Fifty letters were sent to residents asking for views on plans for tree planting at Ashley Coombe. Seven responses were received.
Councillor Paul Macfarlane said the total did not demonstrate any consensus and proposed Warminster Town Council did not proceed with planting trees on the land it owns near Ashley Coombe. Three members of the Parks and Estates Committee voted to take no further action – Councillors Macfarlane, Allensby and Parks. Councillor Jack Jones abstained in the vote.
