Transport for New Homes Meeting

An invitation from Graham Ellis, of the West Wiltshire Rail User Group.

Dear Parish / Town contact, North and West Wiltshire,

North and West Wiltshire are set to grow under the local plan with an 80% uplift on it from the new government. That will affect our infrastructure, and in particular our travel and transport network where some roads and indeed railways are close to saturation and just a little bit more on the current system would result in delays and gridlock that would be bad for our economy as well as for our personal bloodpressures!

On Wednesday 27th November at 19:30 (arrive from 19:00) at the Bethesda Church Hall, Newtown, Trowbridge, BA14 0AA, Jenny Raggett – a director of Transport for New Homes, will talk through the transport issues in North and West Wiltshire, where we are becoming a “connected city”, and mass transit into Bath and Bristol which, from our sector of the county, many of the jobs are based. This is a meeting of the West Wiltshire Rail User Group; guests very welcome indeed – we are funded by member subscriptions so we ask guests for £2 on the door. I am writing round – rather wider that usual – to local towns and parishes in the area (I have your address from the Wiltshire Council web site) to invite you or your colleagues /councillors along if you wish to come.

The group website can be found at https://wwrug.org.uk/flyer.html for further information, or if you’re a Facebook user you can find us at https://www.facebook.com/groups/wwrug … or please feel free to contact the undersigned – I’m a committee member of the group looking after meetings along with wearing a number of other hats! Please also feel free to share this invite.

Graham
