Wiltshire has one of the country's fastest-growing older populations. Nearly 22% of everyone living here is 65 or over: the average in England is 18.6%. We are also one of three councils in the South West with an older population that grew by more than 30% in the last decade.
Residents living longer is wonderful news. But we also want to ensure they spend their later years in good health, doing the things they love, in the places they call home.
