Remembrance Sunday 2023 road closures in Wiltshire

On Sunday, November 12, people around the county will come together for an annual celebration of remembrance, 105 years after the end of the First World War.

With a number of marches and ceremonies planned to honour the fallen, drivers have been warned to take notice of planned road closures throughout the day to avoid disruption.

Cllr Iain Wallis, who has previously marshalled the Devizes events, said: “I have often had to explain to the same people year after year that they can’t drive into the area.

“Please don’t try and if a marshal gives you instructions please follow them.”
