From Suzanne Wickham
I was elected as your Wiltshire Councillor in September 2019 and will be stepping down after the local elections on 1st May.
I understood many elements of the role from my husband, Jerry, who had been your Councillor for the previous five years, having attended functions with him and meeting lots of residents.
This is a multifaceted role, with Committees and other responsibilities within the Council, as well as liaison with all four Parish Councils, supporting residents with a wide variety of issues, and being a member of Westbury Area Board.
I would like to thank all the Parish Councillors of Edington, Bratton, Heywood and Dilton Marsh. They all give their time willingly and work hard to support the running of the Parish and often organising and supporting some of the many functions and events that take place. We often take our Parish Councils for granted but without them villages could not function. Please do consider joining your Parish Council, especially if they do not have the full quota of Councillors allocated.
I also want to mention the many farmers who live in Ethandune, who contribute so much to the environment that we live in and are willing volunteers when their skills and equipment can be used in an emergency.
All the villages of Ethandune are blessed with wonderful volunteer groups who make an enormous impact on the lives of residents. Sadly, I cannot mention them all by name, but you know who you are, and I want to thank and congratulate you all for the real difference that you make to village life. Whether it is constant litter picking, work parties to tend open spaces, being involved with all of our churches, looking after village halls and other assets in the community, arranging walking groups, ensuring that residents can always have somewhere to go to meet people and have a chat on a regular basis, arranging entertainment, lunch events, clubs and outings, working with young people with sporting facilities, helping with the Link Scheme or Best Kept Village, or as is the case almost every week providing CAKE for the wonderful events that take place. I think I have eaten my body weight in cake in the time I have been a Councillor! I am not complaining as it is usually homemade and always delicious.
I am still your Councillor until the election on 1st May so do please contact me if you think I can help with any local issues.
With my very best wishes
Suzanne Wickham
