News in brief
• Your Councillors are investigating why plans to stop-up Trefaser Crescent as part of the Trowbridge Green Environmental Improvement programme have been shelved.
• The Council has submitted its plans for the redevelopment of the Trowbridge Shopping Centre site to the Planning Department. Some concerns, mainly about the positioning of the block of flats at the junction of Aberdaren and Caernarvon Way, have been expressed by residents and Cllrs. English and Walsh are handling these. Cllr. Cook is on the Council’s Planning Committee but will be "declaring an interest" when the plans come before the Committee.
• The Trowbridge & St. Mellons Labour Party extends a warm welcome to Inspector Alex Chadd the new Police Inspector for Trowbridge, based at Rumney Police Station. He recently joined Councillor Ralph Cook on a tour of the Ward to obtain a “Councillor’s eye-view” of the area.
• We support the local police securing an Anti-Social Behaviour Order against a young Trowbridge man with a history of unacceptable activity in the area.
• The final phase of the work on the eastern end of Hendre Park is to be completed this year. 75,000 tons of silt have been dredged from the lake to create deep areas for fish and new paths have been laid. A bridge across the sluicegate, to be built this year, will enable visitors to walk around the lake safely.
