Minutes:
Councillor Dick Tonge, Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport, provided an overview of his responsibilities, which included performance and strategy for transport, highways maintenance and improvements, traffic management including car parking, road safety and passenger transport, litter and cleansing, rights of way, public toilets, grounds and open space including allotments, cemeteries and markets.
Councillor Helen Osborn sought advice on two local matters; the locations of bus stops and speeding issues on Brook Road in Trowbridge. Councillor Tonge advised that Community Speedwatch could be used for the speeding issues. He also advised that a survey had been carried out in Corsham by the Community Area Partnership in relation to bus stops, and perhaps a similar exercise could be carried out by Trowbridge Community Area Future in the Trowbridge Community Area.
