Chippenham Town Council is committed to becoming a net carbon zero organisation by 2030. We aim to reduce our environmental impacts, move to a more circular economy and to manage our land to help increase biodiversity. We want to work with our residents to help them reduce their emissions and ecological impacts too.
In April 2025, we received the results of our carbon footprint appraisal for 2023-24, which showed a reduction in our market-based carbon emissions of over 10% from our previous assessment.
Our emissions have significantly decreased by the replacement of LPG heating at Stanley Park with a heat pump and solar panels.
We will continue to explore ways that we can reduce more emissions in the future to achieve our commitment to be net carbon zero as an organisation by 2030.

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.
