Showing Solidarity With Somerset And Making A Difference

From the outset, WISBAng has tried not to be overly parochial when it comes to the need to dual the A303 - we want to create the legacy of a viable southern route to the West Country - all the way, to the very tip of Cornwall.  So while we do report on those issues closest to home in Wiltshire and around Stonehenge, we keep a weather eye open for other campaigning activities along the A303/A358/A30 corridor between the Hampshire border and Penzance.

We've also stressed, several times, the need to engage with other campaigns to improve the A303.  We are not alone - and neither are the other campaigners.  So when we heard that, as part of National

Newspaper week, the Somerset-based Western Gazette had been short-listed for the prestigious Making a Difference award.

Making a Difference aims to highlight the power of local newspapers to campaign for positive change in the communities they serve and judges have selected 30 of the strongest editorial campaigns across the UK.

So, why not help raise the profile of the A303 campaigns across the south west of England by voting for the Western Gazette and helping them to win!
