I OBJECT strongly to the A4 being closed for Marlborough Jazz Festival. If any of your readers who live in the town or the villages and are adversely affected agree they can email their objection to John.Cole@wiltshire.gov.uk or write to John Cole, Technical Administrative Assistant, Wiltshire Council, Bythesea Road, Trowbridge, BA14 8JN.
Last year there were four times as many objectors as supporters of the closure but Marlborough Town Council and Wiltshire Council chose to ignore that.
I understand that one reason was that it was too late to move the only bandstand blocking the A4. The festival committee have had a year to change to any of the alternative sites proposed. Objections must be in by May 27.
AUDREY PECK, Castle Court, Marlborough
