Its frequent rail and bus links to other towns and cities in Wiltshire and Wessex are complemented by good car parking within close proximity to the town centre.

Increasingly Trowbridge is seen as an excellent tourist centre with many fine buildings and a wealth of industrial heritage. It is also a superb base to explore the varied and fascinating local and regional surroundings including the intriguing prehistoric remains of Stonehenge and Avebury.

The town also has a strong economic foundation in both the manufacturing and service industries, with nationally known companies such as Virgin Mobile based in the town.

The Town Council works closely with the principal local authority, Wiltshire County Council which is based in Trowbridge. It also works in partnership with the Chamber of Commerce which represents many local businesses, to promote the town.

Set to become the largest community in Wiltshire by 2011, the further re-generation of Trowbridge is being undertaken under the guidance of ‘Transforming Trowbridge’ project which is supported by the South West Regional Development Agency and the County and Town Councils as well as business leaders. The riverside will be the initial focus of the development.
