Bradford on Avon is working with Wessex Water to become a Watermark Town.
At the meeting on Tuesday 27 January, the Environment & Green Spaces committee unanimously voted to support the town council’s application.
The Watermark Town initiative aims to help communities use water more efficiently, protect the natural environment, and improve local water services.
Safe water and wastewater services are essential for our daily lives, wellbeing, and the health of the natural world.
If approved, Bradford on Avon may receive grant funding to support community projects that promote better water use and reduce wastewater.
Following successful trials in Chippenham and Bridport in 2024, Bradford on Avon was invited to take part in the scheme, thanks to its environmental projects such as the Healthy Rivers Project and the Wild Waters Festival.
