Meeting with Wiltshire Council Leader
I was greatly reassured to meet with Jane Scott yesterday and hear how the new unitary council for Wiltshire is settling in. I have been impressed through this wintery weather at how many roads have been gritted, even in more rural areas.
Meeting with Cllr Jane Scott OBE
A video of my meeting yesterday with Cllr Jane Scott, OBE, leader of Wiltshire Council, at County Hall, Trowbridge.
