A WOOTTON Bassett councillor has praised the Chamber of Commerce for reviving trade.

In recent weeks activities have been organised in the shopping area to disuade customers from going further afield.

Coun Steve Wall said: "The Chamber of Commerce is to be commended in its efforts to attract people into the High Street.

"The chamber has ideas for future entertainment."

Chamber president Brian Taylor said: "Next up are Christmas competitions and carol singing."
