Cash for highway improvement projects
Wiltshire Council's "Substantive Highway Scheme" gives out money for road safety works which are too big for an individual Area Board to cope with. This year a total of £205,900 was available. Of 16 bids 13 were successful. These include works to Bythesea Road in Trowbridge to make life easier for pedestrians (£10,700), improvements to the Boreham Road / Bishopstrow Road junction in Warminster (£19,000), and more pavements in Wingfield (£16,800).

Tisbury parking and speed limit changes confirmed.
In September 2011 planning permission was granted for a development of 90 houses and 3,800sqare metres of business floorspace on land adjacent to Hindon Lane, Tisbury. At the time, much of the opposition towards the planning application was focused on the impact of additional traffic on the road network. Hindon Lane was of particular concern, with increased vehicle speed and obstruction to traffic flow cited as frequent objections.

A Very Warm Welcome to Bedford for Waitrose
It was my very great pleasure to cut the ribbon at the opening of Bedford's brand new Waitrose store yesterday morning. Those who live nearby or who travel past the new store off Goldington Road (on the site of the former Courts building) will know how swiftly the building work has taken place in recent weeks. The new store is great news for Bedford, bringing new choice and competition for local shoppers, not to mention significant investment and new jobs for the local economy. The store employs 140 staff, and is even taking on a small number of apprentices, which is fantastic.
