THE Drynham ward in Trowbridge is one of the town s cleanest, according to councillors and volunteers who helped out on litter picks over the weekend. Groups of Conservative and Liberal Democrat town councillors and volunteers went out on Sunday to pick up litter and discarded waste. The new mayor of Trowbridge, Cllr Denise Bates, joined her colleague Cllr Andrew Bryant to hosted a Liberal Democrat litter pick with volunteers on Sunday and then held a joint surgery on Monday. Cllr Bryant said: “We are very grateful to the staff and pupils of Holbrook Primary School who have been extremely supportive in allowing us to continue our surgery on their premises.
FIVE of the candidates in a Trowbridge ward set aside their political differences for a few hours to take part in a community litter pick. Conservatives Antonio Piazza and Ashton Rose Griffin joined Liberal Democrats Andrew Bryant, Denise Bates and Sara Heywood and local residents to help tidy up Drynham Lane. The move follows the installation of a new litter bin at the end of Drynham Lane, opposite the Kentucky Fried Chicken outlet on the Spitfire Retail Park. Trowbridge Town Council recently agreed to budget £40,000 a year to fund litter bin services over the next two years. Mr Piazza, who has been pressing for the bin, said: “I initially asked back in October, on behalf of the Drynham cottages, so I’m extremely delighted to have delivered on this promise to them and the ward.
