Wiltshire: Council campaign aims to keep school zones safe for everyone
As the school year gets under way, Wiltshire Council is reminding parents, carers, and local residents to take extra care when driving and parking near schools. The safety of children during busy drop-off and pick-up times depends on all road users acting responsibly.
While many drivers do follow the rules, there are still too many instances of speeding and illegal parking near schools, putting lives at risk and causing unnecessary congestion.
The council is urging everyone to help keep school zones safe by:
- Parking only in designated areas to avoid blocking visibility and access
- Not stopping on yellow lines or zigzag lines
- Using drop-off zones where possible
- Following school traffic rules and signage at all times
- Driving slowly and cautiously, especially during peak school hours

Veterans: Have Your Say on Digital Needs
Research and data are vital in shaping how funding is directed to meet community needs across the UK. The veterans’ community is no different, when needs are identified and backed by evidence, resources can be allocated to make a real difference.
That’s why we’ve been asked by King’s College London to help circulate their Veterans’ Digital Needs Study.
If you are a former member of the UK Armed Forces (aged 18+ and residing in the UK), we invite you to take part.
If you are a carer or family member supporting a veteran, you can also complete the survey on their behalf.
The online questionnaire takes just 10–15 minutes to complete and covers:
• Military service background
• General health and wellbeing
• Digital technology use
• Any challenges faced with digital access
All responses are anonymous, and your data will be stored securely for research purposes only.
You can take part via the QR code or by clicking this link: https://qualtrics.kcl.ac.uk/jfe/form/SV_5w3138xWRgZRzeu...
Your voice matters. By sharing your experiences, you can help ensure that the right resources and support reach the veteran community where they’re needed most.
