THE prospect of bringing a cinema to Trowbridge will be put under the microscope this summer.

Consultants for Wiltshire County Council are expected to draw up a report on how public land in the town centre could best be utilised.

A source told the Wiltshire Times it could cost up to £2m to reroute Bythesea Road and allow a cinema complex to be built on the site of Trowbridge library a location first suggested by consultants who drew up up the Vision for Trowbridge.

A county council spokesman said a study into the implications of the Vision framework on public land would be carried out this summer.

A West Wiltshire District Council spokesman said the council would not be making promises about bringing a cinema to Trowbridge.

"We want to take a measured approach," he said.

"A cinema was suggested at the beginning and as such, along with other things, it is one of the suggestions in the melting pot."

County councillor Jeff Osborn said:"I am looking forward to the county council putting the report into the public domain as soon as possible, given that peoples' interest in a cinema remains very high."
