ENVIRONMENTALISTS have launched a last push ‘Views We’ll Lose’ as part of their campaign to stop a Warminster housing development being built. The group, Sustainable Warminster, say that plans to put 28 new homes on land at Damask Way will blight the nearby Smallbrook Nature Reserve and sites of outstanding natural beauty. Iain Perkins, of Sustainable Warminster, said: “The high point of Damask Way has been enjoyed by the people of Warminster for centuries. “It looks out onto the veteran woodland of Southleigh and Eastleigh Woods that has been part of our historic landscape that now sits within the The Cranborne Chase and West Wiltshire Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Shakespeare s Birthday Celebrations expected to remain virtual in 2021
| Updated: 16:04, 13 January 2021
Stratfordâs annual Shakespeare Celebrations are likely to remain largely virtual this year after organisers conceded April may be too soon to hold such a large gathering in the town.
The event, which is organised by Stratford Town Council, regularly attracts thousands of visitors to Stratford in normal times.
The celebrations were the focus of huge international attention in 2016 on the 400th anniversary of the Bardâs death, with Royals and stars of stage and screen visiting the town.
It has been scaled back somewhat since that special year and with the pandemic sweeping the nation last Spring, the decision was quickly taken to move the event online in 2020 with the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust and RSC taking part.
