A new leisure park for Trowbridge with a cinema, hotel and restaurants
St Stephens Place Leisure Park gets the go ahead Wiltshire Councillors on the Western Area Planning Committee voted 9 to 2 in favour of granting planning permission for the St Stephens Place Leisure Park. The vote took place at a planning committee meeting on 15th February 2012 at the council offices on Bradley Road which was attended by a large numbers of local supporters of the scheme. Thanks to the overwhelming support of local residents, work can now begin on delivering the scheme, including an Odeon digital multiplex, 80 bed Premier Inn and range of family-focussed restaurants. We will keep you up to date on progress and look forward to delivering the facilities that Wiltshire’s county town deserves. Thank you again for all of your support throughout this process. |
