PLANS for a new artificial turf pitch at Doric Park on the edge of Trowbridge are being progressed by the town council.

It is hoping to provide parking, changing rooms, education facilities and a gym alongside the new facility.

The £2.8 million cost will be met by borrowings of up to £1.8m for the scheme, to be funded from lettings income.

A further £1,055,000 will come from Section 106 funds and grants.
