Heather Reilly-Edwards's policies
Statement to voters
Heather is a solicitor who has lived in Royal Wootton Bassett for most of her life, attending the local primary and secondary schools and returning to live here following her law degree and legal practice course.
Full statement
She now lives with her husband in town and is a partner at a law firm in Chippenham. Outside of work, Heather is a trustee of a local law centre, providing free legal advice to help alleviate poverty and disadvantage.
She is passionate about her hometown and an active part of the local community. “Bassett is a fantastic place to grow up and live, but it has not been immune to 14 years of local government cuts. The same two parties (and often the same people) have represented this town for as long as I can remember, I would hope to be a fresh voice on the council.”
In particular, Heather is passionate about road safety in town. If elected, she pledges to secure road safety measures at the crossroads on Bath Road. “There have been too many accidents at this crossroads, whether its cars crashing into houses or children being hit by cars, yet no action has been taken. The junior school is right next to this crossroads so something needs to be done urgently to prevent future incidents.”
This statement was last updated on April 7, 2025.
