Cash for highway improvement projects
Wiltshire Council's "Substantive Highway Scheme" gives out money for road safety works which are too big for an individual Area Board to cope with. This year a total of £205,900 was available. Of 16 bids 13 were successful. These include works to Bythesea Road in Trowbridge to make life easier for pedestrians (£10,700), improvements to the Boreham Road / Bishopstrow Road junction in Warminster (£19,000), and more pavements in Wingfield (£16,800).

North Bradley football footpath closure
Wiltshire Council has agreed to close a short length of footpath which crosses part of the area used by Trowbridge Town Football Club. Although the path doesn't cross the pitch itself the club are concerned about dog fouling in the area, and about repeated vandalism. Closing the public right of way should allow them to increase the security of the site. Walkers will be able to use a slightly longer route along Woodmarsh and Axe and Cleaver Lane to get to the same destination.
