Wiltshire: 'MyWilts' app update coming soon

 

Wiltshire Council are updating the MyWilts app soon with some new features and a new look and feel.

The MyWilts app is the quickest way for you to report issues to the council, including highways defects, weather emergencies, fly-tipping and overgrown vegetation.

If you have automatic updates turned on there is nothing else you need to do to start using the new version of MyWilts, when it becomes available. If automatic updates are turned off, simply visit the App Store for Apple devices or the Google Store for Android devices to initiate the update. The update will be compatible for iOS 16 and Android 10, which means devices that can support these or later operating systems can support the new version of the app. Please note, when the update has taken place previous versions of the app will no longer function and you will need to visit your app store to update the app to continue using it.

You can continue to use your previous details to login and report issues. Cases raised in the previous version of the app can still be viewed.

Army Families Federation (AFF) Immigration Survey

AFF would like to know more about the unique challenges non-UK Service personnel, veterans and their families face when it comes to immigration. Who did you contact for information and advice and why? Did you get everything you needed straight away, or did you find it difficult?

Following a project funded by the Royal British Legion and working in partnership with the Naval Families Federation (NFF) and the RAF Families Federation (RAFFF), AFF have designed a survey to find out who people turn to when they need immigration information or advice.

If you are not British by birth and you or a family member are serving or have previously served in the UK Armed Forces, we would love to hear from you! British Service personnel with non-UK family members can also fill in the survey. It should take less than five minutes to complete.

Please go to surveymonkey.com/r/Non-UK_Questionnaire​
