Welcome to the Melksham Town Website

Melksham is fighting the recession. The Queen's Awards for Industry and Innovation have been won by two companies, substantial investments are planned by four large retailers, a new secondary school will be opened this year, and a large housing development has commenced. Details can be found on links to external news and public information sources. We hope that "What's On in Melksham" will showcase our wide range of local events and activities.
