Plan Fynamore traffic changes, Derry Hill school dates, Bowood's final woodland weekend and Sunday events.
Wiltshire Council plans to progress a School Streets pilot outside Fynamore Primary School in Calne after consultation. The scheme would use short term-time traffic restrictions at the start and end of the school day, with an Experimental Traffic Regulation Order and further statutory feedback before any final decision. If approved, work would begin ready for September 2026; Calne News has the Fynamore School Streets update.

The school newsletter also flags Sports Week from Monday 15 to Thursday 18 June and Sports Day on Friday 19 June.
