Devizes Community Area Partnership (DCAP) is formed from local people and representatives of public sector, voluntary and private organisations who have come together with a vision to improve the quality of life for everyone who lives in, works in or visits the Devizes Community Area.

The Devizes Community area includes the Parishes: All Cannings, Bishops Cannings, Bromham, Cheverell Magna, Cheverell Parva, Devizes, Easterton, Erlestoke, Etchilhampton, Market Lavington, Marston, Potterne, Roundway, Rowde, Stert, Urchfont, West Lavington, Worton.  This mirrors the same communities as are represented by the Devizes Area Board of Wiltshire Council.

The vision for the  Devizes Community Area is to form an integrated community of residents, businesses and interest groups, blending a living and working countryside with its service centre, the thriving market town of Devizes, and ensuring that all people have a good quality of life with access to the facilities they need.

Meetings of DCAP take place quarterly and all local people are welcome to attend.
The next meeting takes place on Wednesday 6th June at 5.30pm at The Cheese Hall, Devizes.

New non emergency number for Wiltshire Police
 
Wiltshire Police has changed its non emergency number to 101.
 
The 101 number is being introduced nationally in phases and on 19 September it was launched across forces in the South West, including Wiltshire.
 
Although 999 is a well recognised number to report emergencies, the 2010 British Crime Survey found that only half of the public knew which number to call if they wanted to speak to their local police about policing, non-urgent crime and anti-social behaviour.
