Latest update from our Wiltshire Councillor Mark McClelland received today:

Stratford Rd does feature on our proposed sites for veneer treatment. It has not been measured up yet, so we are waiting on costings.
This process is a valuable tool to deal with structurally sound footways, by sealing the surface and preventing the surface deteriorating further. Looking at the photographs it does seem to be an approach that is reasonable."
