MELKSHAM Without Parish Council wants to transfer the Bowerhill Residents Action Group picnic area to delineate its boundary.

It has asked Wiltshire Council to transfer the area from Seend to its parish under the Community Governance Review.

A spokeswoman said: "This is to reflect the sense of community and ownership that the residents of Bowerhill and Melksham Without have for the picnic area."

MWPC wants to use the Kennet & Avon Canal as a firm, identifiable boundary between the two parishes. You can comment on that request here http://www.wiltshire.gov.uk/council-democracy-cgr Scheme 11: Seend
