"We are heartened to see that a 6 month moratorium is now in sight when private sector bidders for Lydiard must wait in the wings and allow community bids to make their best case to SBC  The primary goal of The Trust has always  been to stop Lydiard Park falling into the management  hands of any private sector organisation and today's news is not only extremely welcome, but can be heralded as a milestone in our efforts.  We are  confident that since ours is a wholly independent and not for profit  charitable trust, managed by very experienced professional and committed local people, our proposal will provide the best way of preserving Lydiard House and Park for current and future generations.   The Trust wishes to build on  the growing political consensus and will continue to work hard to help take party politics out of the equation " for any additional information please contact Mike Bowden on 07989 494319
