A TOTAL of 443 people responded to the Devizes Town Council poll on two options for the layout of the Market Place.

Councillors were told at a special full council meeting on Tuesday evening that of these 73 per cent voted for community space to be at the Shambles end of the square and parking at the fountain end.

The meeting also voted to accept the legal agreement on the transfer of assets from Wiltshire Council, with the exception of the Market Place, to proceed once a few tweaks had been made to wording.

The transfer will include looking after play areas and emptying of litter bins.
