Sir Al Aynsley-Green – former Children’s Commissioner ‘I am fascinated by the Melksham project since it seeks to achieve much of what I was trying to articulate in my speech ‘Should the nurture of children be everybody’s business?’ I also respect immensely Wiltshire Council’s Area Board concept, in trying to build resilient communities, and this model is one that I can see has immense implications, if successful, for rolling out into other places.’
