 More construction work began in 2006 on the same section of by-pass on a much-debated pasture land on the town's fringe known as the Foldgate.The land has now been turned over to commercial use with a filling station, Travelodge hotel and pub chain pub/restaurant, opened in late 2008.The previous plans to include a number of "high street" stores was thrown out when an independent official branded it "damaging" to and "out-of-place" with the character of the old town.
