A cloud has appeared over Charles Street, Trowbridge, the day after two houses in our street won prizes in the annual Light Up Your Town competition, someone stole a collecting tin from outside number 72.

The chosen charity was The Vine Project, an organisation set up to help homeless teenagers.

The box contained approximately £20, robbing a worthy cause of much needed revenue.

Scrooge is alive and well and living in Trowbridge. Merry Christmas to you, whoever you are.
