Nigel Brown reports "Following from the Village Voice questionnaire, we are in the process of developing a Parish Plan. This will give an overview of the village and state how we want it to be in 5 years’ time.
It could help with planning applications, bringing facilities to the village and help develop our sense of community even further.
However, the team needs help!

Chapmanslade Explorer Trail 2018 Creates a Real Buzz in the Village
What a great day - 22 exhibits, 350 trailblazers, and over £1850 raised for the village
Sunday 10 June was Explorer Trail day in the village. This was the second year this Village Voice event has been held. Last year had a Dinosaur Hunt theme, but this year the theme was Fables & Fairytales with 22 exhibits created along the High Street for all to see, starting and finishing at the Village Hall.
Trailblazers of all ages, many of the younger ones in fancy dress, made their way along the trail while collecting clues at each exhibit. All those who returned with a correctly completed trail leaflet were entered into a prize draw.
Congratulations to Paul Lawrence for winning the trophy for Best Exhibit.

Fantastic Footpaths
See a Chapmanslade Footpaths Map here
The next Chicken Chasers walk is planned for Sunday 22nd July at 10.30am meeting at The Three Horseshoes.
As usual the walk will be around three miles. Well behaved dogs are always welcome.
Jamie says "We'd love to see lots more children on our next walk."
For more information contact Jaimie on 07740 473725
Great progress continues to be made to make our footpaths and bridleways more accessible with clearance of foliage and new kissing gates. Over 80% of our Fantastic Footpaths have now been adopted and surveyed by villagers.
A very useful meeting has been held with Wiltshire Council Rights of Way Officers to discuss our plans and identify useful contacts and resources.
Denise Page reports:
"A big thank you to Jamie for organising such a great walk on Thursday evening, 21 June. He even arranged the weather, so that we could enjoy the splendid views around our wonderful village.
We all enjoyed a drink at the 'local' afterwards. Hopefully there will be more villagers on the next village ramble!"

NEW DEVELOPMENT PLANNED FOR THOULSTONE PARK
LUXURY travel and leisure company Natural Retreats have held several drop-in sessions to discuss their plans for the former Thoulstone Park Golf Course.
Adam Gough, who ran the sessions, said "All feedback received so far will be collated and reviewed. We have also been looking at the results of the Village Questionnaire to understand the outcomes and whether some of these may be incorporated in the proposals."
The company are hopeful for a complex including accommodation, dining, and business space to be built on the site and are welcoming the public to share their views and ideas.
Although plans are in the early stages, discussions have already taken place with both Chapmanslade and Upton Scudamore Parish councils and Wiltshire Council.

Brisk walking is simply walking faster than usual, at a pace that gets your heart pumping. Start with a 10 minute brisk walk a day and then see if you can gradually build up to more. Read about ACTIVE 10 here
