The Bourne Valley Alliance of
Parish Councils:
What is it?
The BVAPC is an alliance of the five
parishes of the Bourne Valley;
Cholderton, Newton Tony, Allington
with
Boscombe, Idmiston and Winterbourne.
It was formed to promote the interests
of the Bourne Valley community (3,569
residents) and to negate Boundary
Commission proposals that the valley
be
split into two separate Electoral
Divisions. Whether this succeeds or
not, the BVAPC is an important new
entity which has been publicised in
the
Salisbury Journal.
The BVAPC meets at least quarterly and
more often when there are serious
issues to discuss. The composition of
the BVAPC is Chairman or Deputy
Chairman of each of the five member
Parish Councils. The interests and
permanent agenda of the BVAPC
encompass
mutual interests in:
The A338, its condition,
traffic flow and safety
The River Bourne and its flood
plain
Education and the Salisbury
Diocese of Churches in the Bourne
Valley
Bourne Valley Good Neighbour
Link Scheme, which has provided help
and support for Bourne Valley
residents
since 2004
• Bourne Valley Day Centre,
which
has met every Friday
to provide a day of social care for
the
elderly since 1981
• Bourne Valley Historical
Society, which was formed in 1948 to
record and conserve the history of the
Bourne Valley
• Distribution of funds
available
from building works for projects in
the
Bourne Valley community
• The newly proposed Bourne
Valley Youth Scheme to help the youth
of the area enjoy the available
amenities within the Bourne
Valley
The current Winterbourne PC
representative on BVAPC is
David Baker.
