Important Community Governance Review meeting - 11 May

One of Transforming Trowbridge’s priorities is to support the initiative led by Trowbridge Town Council to extend the boundaries of the town.  Wiltshire Council is currently engaged on a boundary review exercise and the next Community Governance Review public consultation for the Trowbridge Area is being held at County Hall on Wednesday 11^th May at 6:30pm.

This will be the last opportunity for people to have their say on the future of Trowbridge and ensure that the whole town can be represented by a single town council, with the ability to provide a full range of services and facilities for the whole community. 

 
Wiltshire Council will be making a final decision on the town boundary at its meeting on Tuesday 12^th July.

Transforming Trowbridge strongly supports the Town Council’s request that existing and new developments on the edge of the town should be included in a revised town boundary for Trowbridge and will be attending this public consultation meeting.

 
Wiltshire is a geographically large unitary authority and, in that context, it is logical to enlarge the major towns in the County so they have the resources to deliver strong local governance and services. This is the message we will convey at the meeting.
