Hall gets a new coat of paint

Wootton Bassett's Town Hall has been given a new lick of paint as part of ongoing restoration work to the town's most well-known landmark.

The work is just part of new ideas for the future of the building which last week was awarded a £1,000 grant from the Big Lottery Fund.

The money was granted as part of the Home Front Recall scheme in recognition of the museum's current World War Two exhibition.

Chairman of the Wootton Bassett Museum and Heritage Group Coun Keith Dixon said: "We have had plenty of visitors to the exhibition but we'd always welcome more."

The group was formed in March to help bring in new ideas and projects. It is a sub committee of the Town Trust, which owns and maintains the museum.

The next meeting of the group, which is open to members of the public, is in the Town Hall on Monday at 7pm.

Coun Dixon said: "We're going to discuss the way forward and possible future projects including the categorising of all the art work.

"We're not all experts but we do share a common interest and it's always nice to see new people."
