A recent newspaper report states that Trowbridge Town Council has discussed plans for a replacement Civic Hall in the town.

This goes on to say that an architect will be asked to draw up proposals. Does this mean the council has already opened negotiations with developers over the sale of the Civic Hall which everyone knows is within Trowbridge Park?

Questions need to be answered.

Whoever is behind these discussions must come clean and inform the public of their intentions. The loss of the town's swimming pool and surrounding open space is still very fresh in the memory and it would be a disaster if we once again went down the road of losing even part of the park to developers eager to get their hands on this land.
