Maintenance work at the Civic Centre in Station Road, Wootton Bassett, is likely to last until March 6.

Temporary traffic lights are in place after work began last week to rebuild the lower section of the centre’s retaining wall and to reduce the bank’s steep angle.

The two-storey building, which was originally a school, has been used as a community facility for the past 30 years and is run by the town council.

Town clerk Jonathan Bourne said: “Because a section of the wall will have to be taken down, at the time of that happening we are required to put in traffic lights in the road.

“The work will be programmed in such a way that as much work will be done as possible without disrupting the traffic.”
