COULD I please urge all your Trowbridge area readers to contact the county council on (01225) 713472 for a copy of a document snappily called Wiltshire and Swindon Structure Plan Review 2016, Pre-deposit Consultation.
In this they will find that although west Wiltshire is not required to find any more land for housing between 2011 and 2016, the county council wishes to designate Trowbridge a Centre for Growth and then specifically allocate more new houses to the town.
Before more housing is foisted on us, wouldn't it be a good idea to get enough doctors, dentists, local hospital beds, etc sorted out? We have until June 9 to object to this madcap scheme and stop Trowbridge from becoming an urban sprawl.
ERNIE CLARK,
Independent District Councillor,
Paxcroft Ward,
Stonelea,
Hilperton.
