History hunt
12:23pm Friday 9th May 2008
I AM researching my family history and I'm looking for information about my great-great-grandfather Charles Holland, from North Bradley. He was born in about 1837 to John and Jemima Holland.

Cash well spent
11:13am Thursday 1st May 2008
IN response to Mick Byrne's letter (April 18) about the refurbishment of the multi-storey car park: Mr Byrne queries the extent of the refurbishment works, and whether or not they will prove to be a worthy investment.

No supermarket
11:15am Thursday 1st May 2008
THE residents of British Row have grave concerns regarding the proposed development of the Ushers bottling plant site, and little recognition of these by local councils and officials.

Traffic danger
11:16am Thursday 1st May 2008
WE would like to bring to the attention of residents living in the Laverton Road area of Westbury the proposals to restrict parking along the length of Laverton Road and the Canac link road.

Our history?
11:17am Thursday 1st May 2008
"MORE history can actually be seen and experienced in Wiltshire than anywhere in Britain." When I read the opening words of the new tourist publication, Ancient, Modern I knew that I could expect some real nonsense.

Rubbish law
11:18am Thursday 1st May 2008
YET again the national news announces that a taxpayer had been fined for ' rubbish offences'. I use the phrase purposely. Several thousands of people have now been fined for this sort of 'public misbehaviour'.

Town green row
11:19am Thursday 1st May 2008
I HAVE been briefed by a former colleague who, like me, was a member of WWDC about the behaviour of Wiltshire County Council and West Wiltshire District Council over the attempt to register the land at Beech Grove in Trowbridge as a town green.

What a waste
2:30pm Thursday 17th April 2008
AN opportunity to really engage with peoples concerns was squandered at the Chapmanslade Parish Council meeting on April 3 after the council failed to use public disquiet in an action programme of parishoners writing to the highways dept for clear signing on Black Dog Hill both coming and going.

Car park farce
2:31pm Thursday 17th April 2008
HAVING just read an article about the refurbishment/upgrade of the multi-storey car park, I am astonished to read that the local authority intends to spend £450k on what will be a sticking plaster on what has grown into a monumental sore.

What scrutiny?
2:33pm Thursday 17th April 2008
THANK you for publishing my letter on the role of Wiltshire County Council's Health Overview and Scrutiny Committee. This has encouraged me to look further into this matter and ask questions.
