WHAT marvellous news announced recently that the Government has seen the light and is to give £100m to market towns around the countryside that will include Devizes.
For too long we have seen larger towns and cities attracting shoppers to their out-of- town developments, while towns such as Devizes lose out.
The plan will create new workspaces, restore high streets, increase amenities and improve transport links.
It is all good news for Devizes where higher fuel costs and poor transport links has made it much more difficult to improve everybody's well being in our community.
Let us all hope that the money will be spent wisely to attract more employment and more shoppers to our lovely town.
In the meantime let's not wreck one of our historic sites by removing the trees in the Market Place.
