Householders are being warned about a scam energy text message which claims to come from the Department of Work and Pensions, offering a £300 energy payment.
The deadline is always just a day or two away to foster a sense of urgency. Do NOT click on the link, it will take you to a malicious website designed to steal your data.
Most phone providers are part of a scheme that allows customers to report suspicious text messages for free by forwarding it to 7726. If you forward a text to 7726, your provider can investigate the origin of the text and arrange to block or ban the sender, if it’s found to be malicious.

We were delighted to be able to take ownership of seven beautiful new homes at Newland Homes' Primrose View development in Worton, just outside Devizes.
We have two one-bedroom apartments, one two-bedroom house and one three-bedroom house for rent and two two-bedroom shared ownership houses and one three-bedroom shared ownership house for sale.
All three of the shared ownership homes have already been sold to people with a local connection. We are processing applications for the rental homes and expect to allocate them in the next few weeks.

We're delighted with the results of resurfacing work at our charming 16-flat scheme at 10, The Green, Marlborough and we know our residents are too.
The crumbling, pot-holed surface is now looking lovely and smooth. One of our residents told us: "It’s like walking on a carpet, no more holes."
When our staff are out visiting our schemes they always take note of residents' suggestions and requests, and while they can't always be acted on straight away, we do our best to respond.

Our staff spend a great deal of time out and about in the countryside journeying between our housing schemes and often come back to the office with a tale or two about something unusual they've seen.
We told you about Housing Officer Abby Cottle's runaway turkey encounter, now Operations Director Belinda Eastland stumbled across this wedding couple in a field alongside the A4, opposite the turning for Yatesbury.
"I did a bit of a double take," she says. "What a great piece of work and something to brighten the day."
We don't know what precipitated the wedding, maybe the newlyweds just decided to make hay while the sun shines and combine their resources.
Or maybe his playing the field was just the last straw and she decided to entwine themselves with one another in a legally binding arrangement. Let's hope neither of them bales out.
(Okay, that's enough straw puns, feel free to add your own below)

This week our Tenant Scrutiny Panel met to discuss the action plan relating to our Business Plan, our new pest control procedure and an update on the re-procurement of our repairs and maintenance service.
They also discussed the design and content of a new scrutiny panel page on our website. They took a quick break from the meeting to have lunch outside.

This week is Rural Housing Week, an opportunity to celebrate the work of organisations like us who are dedicated to providing good quality, affordable homes in rural areas.
With several important announcements on housing in recent weeks, including the Chancellor’s announcement of a new £39 billion Social and Affordable Homes Programme, this week is an opportunity to explore the impact these important announcements will have on rural communities and to show why delivering affordable housing in rural areas is key to achieving the country's ambitions for removing barriers to growth and opportunity.

We were joined by our architects PKA and our colleagues at Ken Biggs Construction for the handover of The Meeting Room in Kilmersdon.
We are so proud of this project, which has converted a 17th century former cart barn into a modern two bedroom home as part of our commitment to providing homes in rural areas.
The building was for many years the village's meeting rooms but after they were replaced by a more modewrn building they fell out of use.
The Meeting Room has bedrooms and a bathroom on the bottom floor and a beautiful kitchen/diner/lounge above.
Best of all, it will be let to someone with a local connection.

WEB SAFE WEDNESDAY: SCAM ENERGY TEXTS
Every week we'll post some useful advice from our Stay Safe Online team to help you keep one step ahead of online scammers. Please share it with anyone you know who might benefit.
This week we're warning about a new spate of bogus texts claiming to be from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) saying the recipient is eligible for an 'energy allowance' of up to £300.
It includes a link and deadline to complete a submission process. The links leads to a malicious website which will ask for personal and financial data.
There's no such thing as an energy allowance.
If you receive benefits or are on a low income, you may be eligible for help with your energy bills under the Warm Home Discount Scheme, energy-saving improvement schemes or home energy support payments. You can find out more about these on the government's website.
Scam texts can be reported by forwarding them to 7726.
