Wiltshire Police has launched an long-term project aimed at making reporting a sexual abuse crime easier for victims. The Crown Prosecution Service, Wiltshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner and neighbouring Hampshire Constabulary and Dorset Police have formed the Wessex Action Plan, which sees the introduction of a range of measures that focuses on improving the experience for those who contact the police and improves the likelihood of the criminal being brought to justice. Launched at the start of Sexual Abuse and Violence Awareness Week, it focuses on four main areas: :: Supporting victims by improving communication with them and ensuring they receive the right information and support.
The flag recognises and celebrates LGBT+ people and culture. Due to lockdown restrictions, a simply ceremony was held this morning (February 1) to mark the start of LGBT+ History Month. Swindon and Wiltshire s Police and Crime Commissioner Angus Macpherson said: Raising this flag is just one way Wiltshire Police can show its support for the LGBT+ community within the county. More so than ever before, we should celebrate our differences within the very diverse communities and support each other - not use them to incite hatred. Only by raising awareness, and our Force reaching out to and reflecting the community it serves, can we truly affect change and acceptance in our society. That is why I am delighted to be able to raise this flag in 2021.

Bus station toilets now unisex Not a new subject admittedly – the men’s are still closed but it seems that the ladies toilets have now become unisex i.e. shared. Surely unacceptable, albeit fewer passengers currently. I have repeatedly requested a reason for the above; it has been seriously suggested that passengers use the toilets at M&S (really?) or in the Brunel Centre; at least a 5-6 minute walk each way to and fro.
