Laverstock 173

Well conspiracy theorists might feel we are at risk once again from councillors
in Salisbury and Wiltshire who seek by covert means to divide the Parish.
The Parish has now made its submission to the Electoral Boundary Commission
that L&FP should be retained as it is. Residents voted strongly to preserve the
Parish in its entirety and that is the message councillors sent. The whole seven
page submission can be viewed on the Parish Webpage.
Just go to http://www.laverstock-ford.co.uk/.
Take a look at it and be reminded about what has been achieved over the past
ten years without a smidgen of Party Politics. It really is a testament to your
ability to work together towards an enriched community. Perhaps fortunately
for us it is the Boundary Commission who will have the last word, not Wiltshire
Council or Salisbury City Council.

The Civic Responsibility Cup 2018
The Civic Responsibility Cup is awarded by the Parish Council on
an annual basis to each of the three secondary schools on the
Laverstock site.
The winner from Wyvern College was Nadimur Rahman, who was
awarded the cup ‘For his absolute dedication to his studies and for
always striving to improve himself. Also, for his support for the
school through his deputy head boy role and for his fund-raising
activities.’
The winner from St Edmund’s was Lily Roberts. ‘Lily has been very
proactive in organising numerous charity events in the school, liaising
with staff as needed and always smiling and helpful. A worthy
recipient.’
The winner from St Joseph’s school was Rachel Walker. She was
involved with Fair Trade initiatives in school as well as pupil parliament
and organising school House days. She was also involved with
the church St Vincent de Paul which helps vulnerable members of
the community and Cherish Church Youth groups.
All recipients were awarded an engraved large cup at their respective prize-giving
evenings with each name added on a yearly basis, and a small engraved cup for
them to keep. Well done to all three students, who are a credit to their schools,
parents and the local Parish.
