Army HIVE Christmas and New Year Closures

The majority of Army HIVEs will be closed after duties on Fri 19 Dec 25 and will reopen on Mon 5 Jan 26. There may be localised variations to these dates for individual HIVEs.

Army HIVE HQ is also closed during the festive fortnight, so any enquiries submitted via the ‘If you need further information’ MS Forms function on our UK, Cyprus or Overseas blogs will be answered when we return in the New Year.

We will periodically cover private messages on our Army HIVE Facebook platform (and X/Instagram where possible) whilst we are closed. However, this will not be 24/7 and should not be relied upon for anything that requires an urgent response.

To support our customers with more immediate requirements however, the Army HIVE HQ email will provide a comprehensive out of office autoreply, detailing points of contact that are either 24/7, emergency providers, or open over the festive leave fortnight. To receive this autoreply, please email:
RC-Pers-HIVEComms-0Mailbox@mod.gov.uk

Individual HIVEs will also provide localised contact details for Christmas and New Year cover wherever possible in their automated replies. Therefore, if you email your closest HIVE, which you can find on HIVE’s page on the Army website, their autoreply may be of additional assistance.

Army HIVE wishes all of its Service community customers, and our internal and external stakeholders, a very happy Christmas and New Year. We look forward to continuing our support and engagement in 2026.

Wiltshire: The updated MyWilts app has now been launched

 

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

If you have automatic updates turned off, simply visit the App Store for Apple devices or the Google Store for Android devices to initiate the update.

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.

The update improves the user experience and provides some new functionality, with the facility to deploy further improvements and new features in the future.

If you do not have a smartphone that can support the app or do not wish to use your phone, the MyWilts online reporting webpage is still available.
