Trowbridge Town Council is consulting on a Neighbourhood Plan at the moment and your views are really important in developing this plan. Trowbridge has not had a Neighbourhood Plan before and it’s about setting out a vision for what we want our town to be like - we are focusing on protecting heritage, green spaces, wildlife, active travel routes.

You can visit the Civic to find out more or look at details online.

This consultation rounds until the 15th October. The final Neighbourhood Plan will have a referendum to be voted on by all residents.

Note: Not to be Confused with the Local Plan which is a Wiltshire Council plan being prepared to a timetable set by central government focusing on housing and infrastructure.
