I must ask, does Melksham need another take away? In the town there are:

3 Indian restaurants

2 kebab shops

4 Chinese take aways

2 baguette shops

1 fish and chip shop

This makes a total of 12 food outlets in the town centre with several more on the outskirts of the town.

I live in Union Street the planned site of yet another take away and I am very concerned about the rubbish that will be strewn all along the road when these people have finished eating, also the noise and disturbance this will cause when these people are walking home late at night after leaving the pub and stopping off for food on their way home.

Isn't it about time that the town planners came up with something better for Melksham?

In the past plans have been put forward to improve the town with new shopping areas but they have always been turned down leaving Melksham to become the poor

relation to Trowbridge and end up as the Take Away Capital of Wiltshire
