PLANS for a BMX track in Studley Green, Trowbridge, have been given the go-ahead after not one objector turned up to speak against them.
West Wiltshire district planners had been told there was fierce opposition to the scheme to create the track on part of the playing fields at Lambrook Road.
Councillors said they were expecting residents to turn out in force at last week's central area committee meeting.
Cllr Jeff Osborn said: "We had been told there was a lot of opposition, but the only person who did turn up was the chap who is backing the scheme."
Adrian Ingham, who is putting up £500 for the track, said: "I met some of the residents of Tower Close, which was rather like going into the lion's den, and I think I did allay some of their fears, although I understand there are still objections."
