Putting Swindon at the heart of Council Thinking

I have lived all my life in the centre of Swindon serving as a councillor for the past 34 years. The success of our town is down to its wonderful position making it a great place for both business and people. Alas what has happened in recent years has been the failure by successive Council administrations to understand the importance of a thriving, cultural and welcoming town centre. Instead we have witnessed the donut effect where new shopping centres and investment out of town have became a policy leaving a hole in the centre where lack of investment, decay of our heritage matched by increasing empty shops have become the norm. This has to stop. All our neighbouring authorities have shown the way from Bristol, Reading, Bath, Cheltenham and Gloucester by removing politics, working together with an agreed plan supported by their residents.
