Good luck to the people of Trowbridge in their endeavour to retain the records office in their town.

But do we really need a new office? The latest estimate shows an increase of £3m to well over £12m, anyone care to guess where it would end up?

Who on earth dreams up these bureaucratic ideas?

If it is essential to bring the office to Chippenham (which I doubt) then what is wrong with the empty Bewley House?
