404, The Spa,
Melksham,
Wiltshire,
SN12 6QL.

Dear Neighbour,

I've received a letter, forwarded to me by the secretary of the Melksham Chamber of Commerce, concerning plans for "Land to the east of Spa Road, Melksham", and talking of it as "the most appropriate locations for up to 400 dwellings". As the letter is an open one, I've put in on my website at:
  http://www.wellho.net/graham/Hallam.pdf

Trying to work out the limits of the land, I believe that they're talking about "site 265" in Wiltshre Council's Strategic housing land availability assessment. That document is online at:

with the maps for Melksham at:

The letter invites the community to attend an exhibition on 16th February - I'm writing to you today to make sure you're aware of it and can attend too if you wish, as I hadn't heard of it otherwise even though the plans have land adjoining our property shown as part of the potential site. And please feel free to circulate this letter.
