AN old office building is to be converted into a new Thai restaurant and takeaway joint after Wiltshire Council gave its backing to the application.

Clifton Food Production Ltd put forward the development, which is just opposite the entrance to the train station in Stallard Street, to the authority, who approved it on December 28.

The opening times will be 10am-midnight from Thursday to Sunday and 10am-2am on Friday and Saturday.

Trowbridge Town Council supported the application, but said that there should be no parking on streets or pavements outside the property.

In the application, there are no spaces for parking.
