Trowbridge Town Hall refurbishment reaches key milestone with hoarding removal

The extensive refurbishment of the historic Town Hall in Trowbridge is set to achieve its next major milestone with the removal of the hoarding around the building. The hoarding was installed in August 2023 to ensure public safety during construction.

The hoarding will be removed during the evenings of Monday 28 April through to Wednesday 30 April 2025 and will be replaced with heras fencing for the remainder of the refurbishment period. To facilitate this work, Market Street and Silver Street will be closed from 7pm to midnight each evening. Pedestrian and emergency services access will be maintained, but no other vehicular access will be permitted.

During these road closures, Roundstone Street will temporarily reopen from 7pm to midnight to maintain access to Roundstone Street, Polebarn Road and Yerbury Street with connections to Hilperton Road and County Way.

The taxi rank opposite the Town Hall will be completely closed during these evening closures, for the whole evening. Alternative taxi ranks are available at Castle Street and St Stephens Place.

To make the best use of these road closures, CCTV surveys of the underground drainage systems will also be carried out in the town centre to ensure the surface water drainage network is functioning correctly. Conducting the survey during the existing road closures will help avoid future disruptions to residents and businesses.

Parvis Khansari, Corporate Director - Place, said: "We apologise for any inconvenience caused as we near the end of the refurbishment period. While the building won't be open to the public until the Summer, it's great to see this wonderful Grade II listed building coming back to life. This major project forms part of the £16 million investment in Trowbridge town centre via the Future High Streets Fund."
