WWII control tower set to fall…

Parish Council gives go ahead for demolition in face of local protests.

A control tower at a disused airfield in Wiltshire is set to be demolished despite local protests. The building at Wroughton is unusual among World War II control towers because of its small size.

Wroughton Parish Council chairman Ann Richards said the council was “very sad” about the decision to demolish it.

The decision has been made by the Science Museum at Wroughton, which owns the land. It said other buildings were under review.

Campaigners fear other buildings on the airfield are under threat but have been reassured they will be consulted before any further decisions are made.
