Temporary Hosepipe Ban introduced by Wessex Water

Written by Parish Clerk on August 17th, 2026.

From Wessex Water:

Following a period of record breaking heatwaves and lower-than-average rainfall, our water supply network is under increasing pressure.

We’ve seen record levels of demand for water and with more hot weather to come and no significant rain forecast, we’ve made the difficult decision to introduce a hosepipe ban.

The hosepipe ban starts on Tuesday 18 August at 00:01hrs. From this point customers must not use a hosepipe for activities covered by the restrictions.

For details of the hosepipe ban, the restrictions, who is affected etc please view the Wessex Water website.

Important Update re Crudwell Neighbourhood Plan

Written by Parish Clerk on April 14th, 2026May 6th, 2026.

We have been asked to extend our Regulation 14 consultation by Wiltshire Council. The consultation which commenced on the 1st of March will now end at 5pm on Monday the 25th of May. You will find the Neighbourhood Plan on the link below together with a questionnaire which you can complete online and the other associated Neighbourhood Plan documents.

It is essential that we complete the new Neighbourhood Plan to help avoid unwanted large speculative housing applications which is a real risk given Government new homes targets and a deficiency in the required numbers of new houses in Wiltshire. The Plan will help ensure that any housing development in Crudwell is at a scale, pace, design and affordability which is acceptable and sustainable.

Please view the Crudwell Neighbourhood Plan, summary and questionnaire to share your views on the proposed plan.
