Swindonians are still Together On Planning

Simon, 10-04-2005 16:53

Bright sun and a chilly wind greeted the people of Swindon as they assembled in Faringdon Road Park on Saturday 9th April 2005 for the second STOP (Swindonians Together On Planning) march. Placards spoke out against various unpopular planning decisions in and around the borough of Swindon, and many different signs were in evidence which made use of a subverted version of the orange Swindon Borough Council logo. The protestors marched through the Railway Village, past the Mechanics Institute, through the town centre to a rally outside the Civic Offices. Read more | 2 comments >>

Hands around Coate Water

Simon, 13-11-2004 19:06

On a cold but clear and sunny Saturday afternoon, the edge of the lake at Coate Water was bounded by a chain of over a thousand cardboard cut-out hands, each with someone's personal dedication of why Coate is special to them, held aloft by Save Coate! campaigners and supporters. Will this be enough to convince Swindon Borough Council, Redrow & Persimmon Homes, and the University of Bath, that we want Coate Water Country Park to remain a country park, not a town park surrounded by concrete?

Who gives a **** about Swindon Town Centre?

Simon, 19-09-2004 21:21

On Saturday the 18th September 2004, two very different ideas were being presented to the public in the Brunel centre in Swindon. One concerned the town centre, and the other concerned the land at the south-eastern edge of Swindon, known as Coate. One was being promoted by employees of a local planning company, the other by volunteers for a local charity.

Although these two stalls may have appeared unrelated to the casual observer, they were in fact inextricably linked, by the University of Bath and by issues of town planning, development and accountability to the public. Read more | 2 comments >>

Shaw Forest saved, but new threat to Coate
