Great news for Trowbridge and Wiltshire!

YOUR BUDGET, YOUR COUNCIL

Today the first ever Liberal Democrat budget passed at Wiltshire Council. Thank you to everyone who consulted, spoke to or participated in the setting of this budget.

Our Liberal Democrat budget puts learning and opportunity at the heart of Wiltshire’s future.

On the day the Government releases its White Paper on SEND, we want you to know what we are doing to support young people here in Wiltshire.

We’re investing £41 million in education and skills, including SEND, Early Years and our schools. This matters more than ever because Wiltshire is one of the lowest-funded local authorities in England for the High Needs Block.

This funding strengthens support for children who need it most and helps every young person to thrive.

Investing in every child’s future. 📚✨

Our Liberal Democrat budget puts Wiltshire’s environment first.

We’re investing £62 million into waste services, public protection and nature recovery, strengthening the work that keeps our county clean, safe and thriving.

From restoring habitats to improving recycling and protecting our natural spaces, this is a budget that looks after the Wiltshire we love.

Investing to protect and restore our environment. 🌿♻️

🚧 Our roads have been left to crumble for too long.

That’s why the Liberal Democrats are investing £38 million in the proposed budget to fix potholes and improve highways across our communities.

For too many residents, potholes are more than an inconvenience. They damage cars, disrupt travel and pose real safety risks. This funding is about getting the basics right and making sure our infrastructure works for everyone.

It’s time to properly invest in our roads and deliver the improvements people expect and deserve.

What a mess..

What Was Meant to Make £6m by 2026 Is Now £53m in Debt

Stone Circle was set up by the previous Conservative administration in 2019 with projections of a £6m profit by 2026.

The latest accounts now show:
• £53.36m owed to the Council
• £11.33m net liabilities
• Continued annual losses

Wiltshire’s new Liberal Democrat administration has commissioned a full independent forensic review of the housing companies established under the previous administration.

We are not pre-judging the findings.

But £53 million of public money demands full transparency.
The review findings will be published in full.
