A series of works by Wiltshire Council's highways team since the start of the year have been completed.

They've been sharing their successes to help improve public access and safety.

The efforts have included the resurfacing of a byway in Winterslow, known as The Shripple.

Teams have regraded the eroded surface to make it smoother for residents to use to get to their properties.

Potholes in the car park for Westbury's White Horse have been sorted out by the Council's highways team

The car park at Westbury's White Horse has also been resurfaced, to remove a large pothole and make it easier to use.

The Council says it'll boost 'the overall experience for visitors to this famous Wiltshire landmark'.

New steps and a handrail have been installed on a footpath next to St Peter's Church in Monkton Farleigh, near Bradford on Avon too.

The team's also improved access to a popular path in Monkton Farleigh village

Until now, people have had to use a grass slope which often became slippery.

The change has improved access on a well-used path for residents.
