Trowbridge Area Board on March 16th heard a presentation from librarian Basil Nankivill on the new library. Opening is scheduled for mid-September. The old library will close a few days beforehand to give time to shift the books etc. There will be some new stock and the number of public computer terminals will be increased. There will also be dedicated parking spaces for library users.

Sylvia & Phil continue to campaign to get all our roads up to standard. The latest successes being Costwold Close and Vicars Walk. We know that there are still many roads in dire need of resurfacing, however it is not possible to do them all at once. Goldington has to compete with all the other parts of the borough and we will continue to press for Goldington's roads to be done.
