Last Saturday evening we were delighted to attend another commissioning service of eight new Chippenham street pastors held in St Paul’s Church.

The street pastors play a vital role not only in Chippenham but around the rest of the county in ensuring that we continue to have a safe and well-managed night-time economy.

These types of initiatives highlight once again the key part volunteers play within our community and their dedication and commitment is something we should all support.
