Wiltshire's Young People's Support Service put into Special Measures by OFSTED

The YPSS consists of four schools around the county, including the Trinity Centre in Trowbridge. They deal with pupils who have been excluded from normal secondary schools. Pupils seen as being at risk of exclusion also attend the centres, as do some students with medical conditions for whom mainstream education would not be appropriate. YPSS is one of the few parts of the education system still in the control of the council.

Council still failing to get developer contributions.

Legal obligations on developers to provide community infrastructure are not being enforced by Wiltshire Council. Trowbridge councillor Jeff Osborn has been trying to get the council to take the problem seriously, and has been promised a complete list of the outstanding money owed to Trowbridge by November. In the south of the county there are no electronic records so planning officers are having to plough through paper records. "There is still the problem of liaison between Development Control, Legal, Finance and all the departments/sections that spend Section 106 money - housing, transport, education, open space etc," said Jeff.
