Congratulations to all those successful candidates in the @wiltscouncil elections. We look forward to taking the future of Furlong Close forward with the new @yourwiltshire Leader & Cabinet. Hoping that @laura4roundway will engage with us as positively as Anna Cuthbert did. 💜

Big thank you to @devizine1 for covering our campaign over the last few months. Good to see @mark_mang from @WiltsLibDems & Anna Cuthbert talking with protestors about future options. A local issue that has become so important to residents from Rowde and much further afield. 💜

2/2 As it happens, of the numerous Conservative candidates asked to provide a statement of support, only a handful have responded to date. We thank them for that support, including Ms Mayes, but the silence of their colleagues is becoming deafening.
@savefurlongcl Please delete this Tweet. I have replied to Mark Steele’s email saying I will work with Wiltshire Council colleagues, residents & families to find a long-term viable plan for Furlong Close residents. He thanked me and wished me luck in the election.

We have thanked every candidate who has provided us with any statement of support & wished them all the best of luck in the election. The fact remains that Ms Mayes had not publicly declared her support for our campaign until this tweet 1/2

@laura4roundway Are you now making a public statement? Are you joining our campaign to #savefurlongclose? Are you going to be communicating with the Families and Friends who have been trying to get this decision changed since October last year? What has made you break your silence? The election?

36 vulnerable people face eviction from their homes - silence from @laura4roundway yet she gets very upset over new homes being proposed in her backyard. Election approaching, will there be last minute public statement from Ms Mayes to #savefurlongclose? https://t.co/wByTEYhSB5

Plans for 57 homes in Devizes have been branded “dreadful proposals”.

Lots of local politicians out canvassing and wanting your vote. Ask them if they are prepared to challenge decisions that aren’t in the best interests of vulnerable people like Cllr Anna Cuthbert did. Ask them if they support our campaign to #savefurlongclose

Ask the candidates standing in the @wiltscouncil election on 6 May to represent you if they support our campaign to #savefurlongclose and if they will speak up for the vulnerable even if it makes them unpopular with decision makers. 💜
Thank you to everyone who has contacted us following publication of our wrap! Here is the @wiltsgazette Devizes edition. We haven’t named the people who are supportive of our campaign to #savefurlongclose - or those that aren’t - but do get in touch if you would like to know. 💜

Which candidates support our campaign to #savefurlongclose? As their leaflets land on your mat, give them a call and ask if they have the courage to speak up for the vulnerable. 💜
A great summary of which parties are standing in each ward in Wiltshire in the May 6th local elections. 98 divisions - Conservatives standing 98 candidates, Lib Dems 90, Greens 67, Labour only 54 and 35 Independent and other.

Thank you @yourwiltshire @Conservatives for your influx of support following @CllrWhitehead’s instruction not to respond to us. Good to see so many of you wanting full facts rather than the abridged version provided by the leadership. Your personal stories are heartwarming.
