Have you tried our Westbury Quiz
We shared it with visitors to the Village Show in September and you can view it 
(and the answers!) HERE.

Westbury Flowers
The Autumn replanting of the troughs and planters around the Village has now been carried out, although we still have a few new planters to be put in place. As we never tire of telling everyone, all the flowers, their planting and maintenance are paid for by YOU, the residents and businesses of Westbury. You can find out more about our ongoing appeal, and how you can contribute HERE.
This year's Fund, including Gift Aid stands at £7,450 as of September 26th...

Westbury Transport Group
This Group has been set up to consider the various transport issues in and around the village, building on the previous work of other groups. You can find more details HERE.

The Group has recently carried out a survey of the impact of the Carlton Court proposals on parking in the area. You can read their report HERE.

Carlton Court Development
TA decision on the application for planning permission is expected in November. The developers were asked to carry out a survey or car parking in the area, which they have now done. In the meantime, the Society carried out its own survey. You can find more information, including a video of the public meeting the Society held some months ago by clicking HERE

Westbury Hill Car Park Charging
While the Council has implemented its Traffic Regulation Order to introduce charging to all its car parks, our one on Westbury Hill has been deferred until consultations on a posible residential parking zone (RPZ) are carried out. You can view a summary of the current situation HERE.
