The Electoral Commission Constituency Boundaries in Wiltshire have now changed. What was the Devizes Constituency no longer exists. It is now Melksham and Devizes or East Wilts.
We are constantly working for you in the community, with many years of experience in local government we are well placed to represent you.
Please feel free to contact us on matters of local concerns by email ...
We are always ready to bring our influence to bare drawing attention to issues in the community through our campaigning and lobbying for change with our local political leaders across our constituency.
Your local party based in the Melksham and Devizes constituency, works hard to represent you at both local and national levels. Nothing in "government" is fixed in stone, it can be changed if we all work together.
Thank you all for your support during th 2024 General Election campaign. It only goes to show that despite the fact that we didn't win, there is no such thing as a safe seat.
We congratulate Brian Mathew MP on his success and trust that he will represent all of the Constituency fairly.
Wiltshire Council Local Elections will be on Thursday May 1st 2025. We look forward to your support and participation the the Local Elections.
If you "lent" your support to another party to oust the sitting Conservative candidate, perhaps you will reconsider and vote LABOUR in the loacl elections.
For fourteen years, successive Conservative/Lib-Dem and Conservative governments cut the funding of local government to the bone. This significantly reduced the ability of local authorities to provide much-needed local services and respond to crises such as the Coronavirus pandemic.
Nevertheless, Labour-run councils up and down the country have shown that by innovating they have been able to maintain and improve the services they provide to local communities.
We now have a national government which is intent on rebuilding our public services. There is a great opportunity for Wiltshire Council to work in partnership with national government on this programme of renewal.
Wiltshire Labour recognises that resources are scarce. In this manifesto, we have set out a programme that is ambitious about tackling the problems that people face, but also pragmatic with a strong emphasis on rebuilding our local economy and working in partnership with local businesses and the voluntary sector.
At the heart of our Manifesto for Wiltshire are five missions:
CREATING A DYNAMIC LOCAL ECONOMY - We aim to create a dynamic local economy providing good, secure jobs and enabling businesses to thrive.
MEETING LOCAL HOUSING NEEDS - We will use Wiltshire Council’s powers to tackle Wiltshire’s housing crisis once and for all.
DELIVERING THE GREEN TRANSITION - We will take on the climate emergency by moving Wiltshire towards carbon neutrality and reducing the costs of energy for local people.
REBUILDING LOCAL SERVICES - We will renew our essential public services – social care, public transport, highways, arts and leisure – essential to the quality of life of our residents.
PROVIDING OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUNG PEOPLE - We will provide the best possible start for young people in Wiltshire to build successful lives
At the Wiltshire Council elections on Thursday 1st May 2025, the residents of Wiltshire have a choice – more of the same, or a council intent on delivering change and renewal.
