From Engage, Newsletter No.1, of Warminster Town Council, published February 2008:
Over the Christmas period and the New Year celebrations, work on the upgrading of Warminster’s town centre was suspended to enable two-way traffic to be reinstated, allowing seasonal shoppers to come into town more easily.
When the work restarted so did the inconvenience. But the improvements are essential and will be valued by all residents when they are completed by the end of February.
“The roadworks have brought much disharmony to the town,” acknowledged the Mayor of Warminster, Veronica Burden, “but the advantage will be that the ‘unpopular, unpleasant town smell’, as it is fondly referred to, will have gone forever and the enhanced street scene will hopefully encourage more visitors to the town.”
