Polls to open across Wiltshire for local plan referendums

Several parts of Wiltshire will head to the polls tomorrow (27th Feb) as local referendums are being held.

Salisbury, Calne, Semington and Sutton Benger are all holding votes to decide whether Wiltshire Council should use local Neighbourhood Development Plans - which details development in each area.

Voters are all reminded that they need to take ID to polling stations with them.

Chair of Salisbury's Planning Committee, Cllr Tom Corbin, told us a yes vote would allow developers greater clarity on what's acceptable in each area, covering high street developments, new housing and green belt land.

He's encouraging people to go out and vote, telling the people of Salisbury: "This is a great moment in our history to do something positive for Salisbury."

People are able to choose 'yes' or 'no' when voting.
