One horse town
Trowbridge, the county town of Wiltshire although not many would know it, is gradually starting to resemble a one horse frontier town of the Wild West. Instead of tumbleweed drifting along the deserted high street we have a liberal scattering of discarded drink cans, plastic bottles, crisp packets and other litter, not forgetting a layer of cigarette ends. To make the problem worse, when the Iverdie gang ride into town with their mowers they do not pick up any litter, they just shred anything in the grass verges. When will the Sheriff and his posse of council workers and councillors sort out this shabby town.
Will the saving grace be the wonderful new Union Street / Church Street junction. I hope enough parking is provided to accommodate all the tourists and sightseers this extravaganza will bring to Trowbridge. According to Politics West on Sunday morning we are expecting visitors as far away as London.
Like the morals and the behaviour of some Conservative members of government are a reflection of a certain past Prime Minister, is the shabby state of Trowbridge a reflection of the leader of the town council?
