Waiting for road repairs

At the time of writing, in 2024, many people in our local villages are concerned about the state of the roads, particularly the number of potholes needing to be filled. In the little batch of newspapers, awaiting accessioning into our museum collection, we have a Wiltshire Gazette and Herald dating from 29th September 1973, with this article about roadworks needed at Eastcott, near Easterton. It seems that there was to be about a four year wait for improvements to be made on that road.

Hopefully the local potholes will be dealt with more speedily.
