Household batteries can now be collected as part of Wiltshire kerbside recycling service
Wiltshire Council are now able to collect some types of small batteries as part of our kerbside recycling service.
Put your small household batteries in clear, sealed sandwich bags on top of your blue lidded bin and they will be collected for recycling. Please do not put batteries out for collection earlier than this date.
The batteries you can put out for collection are 'D', 'C', 'AA', 'AAA', 9V and button-type batteries. They will be kept separate from other recyclable materials on board the collection vehicles.

Parish Council update on the new development in Corsley (October 2023)
Villagers will be aware that the Baytree Close development has been in the pipeline for some time and may be wondering what has been going on. After making contact with the local authority we can report the following:
The groundworkers are expected to be on site before the end of October, and it may be sooner. In terms of activity, the initial work will be to secure the site (and fence off the route of the path so that this is undisturbed), then the initial work will be the creation of the new road, followed by the drainage and footings for the houses. It is likely that the houses will be delivered to site early in the new year.
Regarding the acquisition of homes — six of the eight will be for affordable rent and will be let via Homes4Wiltshire. Anyone wishing to be considered for these needs to make sure they are registered as in housing need. Homes4Wiltshire will be advised when the homes are nearing completion and will then advertise them on their website for bids. Priority will be given to those with a local connection and with demonstrated housing need.
There are two, two-bedroom homes for shared ownership. These will be advertised via the PC, in local papers and on the website as completion is neared. These will also be prioritised for people with a local connection. Anyone interested in the shared ownership properties is advised to look at the website:
www.wiltshire.gov.uk/article/5346/What-is-shared-ownership
We understand that a lot of people have contacted the local authority about both tenures. At the point that advertising is done these people will be contacted via email and pointed towards the Homes4Wiltshire, or the Shared Ownership page on our website.
Anybody who has a specific circumstances or queries is welcome to contact Christine Brown, the Residential Development Project Manager at Christine.Brown@Wiltshire.gov.uk or on 01225 718771. Christine has indicated that she is happy to answer if she is able to.
Needless to say, as the PC becomes aware of progress we will update the village.
