Route plans for the Chippenham distributor road The Chippenham Civic Society has labelled the proposed growth of the town through the local plan and the distributor road it will unlock as unsustainable. Mike Stone, chairman of the group, said the growth curve proposed for Chippenham – 7,500 houses – up to 2036 is too great for the town. In a letter, Mr Stone asked: “At what point does Chippenham cease to become a pleasant place to live?” Over the last four decades the population of Chippenham has grown from 19,000 to nearly 40,000 or an increase of 109 per cent. The Civic Society, Mr Stone says, recognises all towns grow, but that the 62 per cent is rushed.
