https://transwilts.org/2020/05/28/new-transwilts-westbury-white-horse-crp-room-book-now/We are delighted to announce the completion of our new Westbury White Horse Room located at Westbury station.
This is a community based room open to bookings and we are very pleased with the end result. Please see before and after pictures attached.
Our concept and aims for this project were to transform the disused room within the grade 2 listed building to work both as a community space and a workable office area whilst being sympathetic to the station heritage.
Westbury is an ideal location for meetings used by Community Rail Partnerships, GWR▸ /Train Operating Company staff, local groups/establishments and schools. We hope that this room will strengthen the relationship between community rail, local authorities, CRPs▸ , Wiltshire Council, SWLEP, station adoption groups, schools and bring stations back in to the heart of the community.
The sustainable benefits to the community include; local and affordable meeting room facilities. The room delivers benefits to local people, such as through local volunteering, community events and we have aspirations to use the space as an Education Training Center. We hope to strengthen our partnerships with schools, community groups, other Train Operating Companies, Wiltshire groups and organisations. This collaboration with the rail industry and others will help to deliver improvements to the community and assist in overcoming challenges, helping to build trust and confidence back in to public transport.
