Do you know your Snowberry Lanes from your Shurnolds, or your Snarleton Lanes from your Spas? If you're a long time resident of Melksham you might, but those of us who have only lived here for a few years sometimes overlook some areas of the town, and newcomers moving here - looking to rent or buy - need to find some information that's wider than a town cenre map, and less wide than a map that shows Melksham in relation to Chippenham, Trowbridge, Devizes and Bath.

As operators of a business hotel in Melksham, we're finding that new employees to local companies are staying with us in their early days in their new role - using our hotel as a home from home for a few days or weeks while they sort out where to rent or buy. And - ever wishing to be helpful - I've drawn up the map you see alongside this paragraph to show the different parts of the town.

Under the Regional Spatial Strategy, Melksham will probably grow some 50% over the next 20 years, with land to the East (around Snarelton Lane - number 21 and south to Snowberry Lane - number 13) already earmarked for the growth. The secondary School - George Ward - is currently situated in the Shurnold area (number 15) to the North West, but will probably be relocated to a new site just to the north of the Magister Road area of Bowerhill (number 18) in the next few years, with the old school site providing a further 200+ accommodation units.
