CIVIC PRIDE IN CHIPPENHAM - REPORTING EYESORES        

We have some concerns about the visual appearance of the historic town centre of Chippenham. Despite the sterling work of the majority, a minority of businesses and retailers have shown a distinct lack of urgency in replacing boarded up windows, removing graffiti and maintaining the frontages of their premises to a good standard of repair. As this is a conservation area, we are aware this could create a totally unjustified negative image of the town. We are anxious to improve matters and have taken these issues up with some of the worst offenders. They are well aware of it so we will not name and shame them at this stage.  

Members are encouraged to identify eyesores that the Civic Society can seek to improve by emailing us at chippenhamcivicsociety@yahoo.co.uk. If you do email us please give details of what you may have done to report the eyesore already. If you have a photo that would also help.
