I’m Augusta Urquhart-Nicholls, a former musician with a decade of management experience.

Full statement

I’ve proudly called Calne home for the past two years, and I’m constantly inspired by its friendly community spirit and beautiful surroundings. But I believe Calne deserves better.

Our town often feels overlooked — and that’s why I’m standing to represent you on Wiltshire Council.
Here’s what I stand for:

🔎 A War on Waste – Let’s make Wiltshire’s £500m budget work harder for residents. Did you know the council recently spent £300k on an electric bin lorry without knowing if it was fit for purpose? We need smarter spending and greater accountability.
🏘️ Town Centre Regeneration – I’m committed to bringing life back to our high street by repurposing vacant buildings, encouraging small businesses with pro-business incentives, and introducing beautification schemes.
🚦 Sensible Development – Our growing population deserves infrastructure that keeps pace. I’ll advocate for better planning that prioritises local needs.

But most importantly, I want to hear from you. Your thoughts and concerns matter, and I’m passionate about ensuring your voice is represented. Expect regular polls, surveys, and referenda — because a true representative listens.

🗳️ On May 1st, vote for Augusta Urquhart-Nicholls and together let’s make Calne thrive!
