The Trowbridge COB met recently.

The COB reviewed initial feedback from the campus consultation and noted good support from local people to providing feedback about what they want and need in their local campus.

The COB decided to extend the consultation deadline until mid-October to provide more opportunity for 18-24 year olds and over 60’s to feed in their views.

This can be done partly at the specific old people’s area board meeting in October.

The COB felt it was important to make sure feedback was gained from as many local people as possible. This means that the COB partner update to the Trowbridge Area Board in September will be an update on the broad themes from the consultation so far, and at the November area board meeting the COB will look to provide a fuller update on the results of the consultation once it has closed.
