Wiltshire Digital Drive
We are pleased to say that the Town Council has joined Wiltshire Digital Drive, and we are now a drop-off point, the first in Chippenham, for Wiltshire Digital Drive, a Community Interest Company that aims to tackle the growing e-waste problem.
You can now drop off unwanted electrical items at Customer Services at the Town Hall, such as laptops including power cables, tablets, smartphones, keyboards and computer mice. Wiltshire Digital Drive will collect these items, they will wipe the information from the devices according to government standards, and refurbish them. They will work with schools, charities, organisations and council services across Wiltshire to distribute the devices to those who need them most. Please check their website for further information and to check the criteria for donations: www.wiltshiredigitaldrive.org/donation-stations/
This project supports the Town Council’s climate commitments to help reduce waste in Chippenham by encouraging more repair, reuse and recycling.

You may see our Environmental Services team cutting back hedges and shrubs in the next few months, as part of their duties.
Hedge and shrub maintenance ordinarily takes place between 1st August and 28th February, in line with the bird nesting season. Hedges and shrubs are generally cut once annually during the Autumn/Winter maintenance programme, in accordance with the character of the area and to ensure the safe use of the town’s roads, pavements, parks, open spaces and residential properties.
Hedges are one of the most common issues reported to us. If you have a concern about a hedge or shrub that requires maintenance, please use our Report It system to inform us and we will ascertain ownership and take action where required - bit.ly/ReportIt_
Trees are more than part of our landscape, they often become part of our memories. Perhaps it's the tree you pass on your daily walk, one that provides welcome shade on a sunny day, or one that reminds you of a special moment.
Which tree in Chippenham means the most to you?
Tomorrow is the final day to nominate your favourite tree. Everyone who submits a nomination will be entered into a prize draw for the chance to win a £100 garden centre voucher.
The tree must be located within the Chippenham parish boundary and visible from a public space.
