A parish steward has been hard at work keeping the town clean and safe.

Marlborough Town Council said the steward carried out a range of maintenance and improvement tasks throughout October, including cleaning signage, clearing gullies of leaves and debris, filling potholes and tidying Stonebridge Lane.

Other work included strimming pathways and cutting back trees and vegetation to improve visibility of lampposts.

A spokesperson for Marlborough Town Council said: "With the wetter winter months approaching, we are keeping a close eye on our drains and gullies, ensuring they are monitored and cleared where needed to help maintain good drainage and reduce the risk of surface water build-up.

"Thank you to our Parish Steward for their continued hard work in keeping our parish tidy, safe and well maintained."

The council reminded residents that highways and tree issues can be reported directly to Wiltshire Council using the MyWilts website or by calling 0300 456 0100.

For smaller issues, the town council can add requests to the parish steward’s list by emailing enquiries@marlborough-tc.gov.uk.

The council also noted that while it monitors its social media accounts, requests made through Facebook comments may not reach the relevant officers and cannot be addressed through that channel.
