Yarnbrook Railway Bridge Works

Network Rail will be working during February, March and April to improve the railway bridge over the A363 at Yarnbrook. To allow us to carry out the work we will have traffic management in place to allow traffic to flow while we carry out our work. We will be working continuously from the beginning of February to end of April on the below dates, but please be aware these dates may change. Whilst this work is being carried out there will be lane closure on the A363. Please see a copy of the diversion map enclosed.

The road will be closed at the railway bridge on the A363 near the Nissan Platinum garage.

Traffic going toward the White Horse business park and North Bradley will be along Hawkeridge Road and Phillips way.
For traffic going towards Heywood and West Ashton from the White Horse Business Park will be along Phillips Way and Hawkeridge Road.

Consultation Event

Castlewood Commercial Properties Ltd (Castlewood) and Linden Homes (Linden) are bringing forward plans to develop land off the A363 to the south west of the White Horse Business Park – as shown on the aerial below. As you may be aware, these sites have been proposed as an allocation for residential development by Wiltshire Council. Proposals include approximately 175 new homes and a care home, along with extensive landscaping, to soften development boundaries and create clear separation between the development and North Bradley.

In the New Year Castlewood and Linden Homes will be holding a public exhibition to speak to residents about the proposals, and would like to invite you to attend. The exhibition will be held on Friday 10 January at: North Bradley Progressive Hall Woodmarsh, North Bradley Trowbridge, BA14 0SX

Traffic Calming in Woodmarsh

The Parish Council's plans are currently on hold due to lack of funds. The total cost of the scheme is in excess of £40,000. The Parish Council applied to Wiltshire Council for substantive bid funding, but the bid was unsuccessful. The Parish Council are currently exploring alternative sources of funding.

Thank You
