MAY we congratulate those responsible at the county council and West Wiltshire District Council for the splendid new shared cycle and pedestrian way between Bradford and Trowbridge, which is nearing completion.

The layout by CEEMA design consultants is really attractive and the work has been carried out in such a friendly and co-operative manner that those of us who live along the route experienced no inconvenience.

When our doctors are telling all of us to discover the open air and countryside again, the new trackway will, we hope, encourage us all to switch off the TV and discover the delights of this compact but enchanting area of green belt countryside.

This new development is a really great addition to the amenities of Trowbridge and Bradford, and is not to be missed. Already the cyclists and families out for a stroll are expressing their delight as they pass by.

So often we forget to thank the county and district councils and our councillors when they really do make a difference and improve our facilities. A big 'thank you' to all those involved!

H & C. SMITH,

Widbrook,
