A WROUGHTON dairy is using glass bottles for new doorstep deliveries after a gap of nearly 20 years. The move is in answer to demand from customers for more sustainability and a move away from plastic. Glass bottles were the norm when Berkeley Farm Dairy started doing rounds in 1908. They were stopped in 2003 because of falling demand. But now the company started by the Gosling family has launched a new service called 10 Green Bottles, covering Wroughton, Wichelstowe and Old Town. Ed Gosling told the Adver: “Historically, we were delivering milk around Wroughton and Swindon with horse and carts when the farm was started over 100 years ago.
Old Town: A revamped plan to change 34 Dover Street to an eight-person house of multiple occupation has been turned down. Developer Phillip Brett had a similar application turned down in March 2020. It included a bid for retrospective permission for an existing two-storey rear extension – meaning the addition was put up without the relevant consent – as well as a new permission for a further single-storey extension. But officers have turned down the proposal because of lack of parking. The decision said: “Inadequate provision is made for the parking of cars on the site, with a consequent risk that new residents will seek to park on the highway to the detriment of highway safety.
