After discussions at a recent Trowbridge Town Council town development committee meeting, it is apparent that solutions are still being sought. On July 27, the committee met to discuss a number of issues, including the “live concern” over Red Hat Lane. According to minutes from the meeting, the matter was raised by a member of the public, who identified a “continuing rat problem”.
