Title: How relatively big is Swindon? Post by: sir windon on Sunday, May 26, 2019, 21:51:19 A couple of sources.
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/8705932/Britains-20-biggest-towns.html http://www.citymayors.com/gratis/uk_topcities.html Surprised how big Northampton is and how small Newcastle is.

Title: Re: How relatively big is Swindon? Post by: suttonred on Sunday, May 26, 2019, 22:30:37 Research is off. Croydon is as big as Reading yet isn't listed, and it certainly isn't a city.

Croydon is part of the Wen.... clue in the London Borough of Croydon, name. Title: Re: How relatively big is Swindon? Post by: Peter Venkman on Monday, May 27, 2019, 08:41:41 The research in the Torygraph one is very old, dated 2010 and has Swindon as a population of 155,432 when the census from later that year has Swindons population as 182,441 which would put us in 6th place in that population table.
Title: Re: How relatively big is Swindon? Post by: 4D on Monday, May 27, 2019, 08:46:13 The last confirmed population was 215k in 2014, estimated now at 226k. Growth of just over 1% each year. I'm guessing that's the borough.
Title: Re: How relatively big is Swindon? Post by: suttonred on Monday, May 27, 2019, 09:10:00 Croydon is a borough but also a town. I'm just thinking of Croydon town itself. Not New Addington and all the rest of the bits. For sure Readings figure will cover Witley, Calcot, Caversham etc.. Just find it a bit odd it's not listed, it doesn't seem to fit anywhere. It's even in Surrey, but no one uses that either.

Now let's get on with it. Negotiations to re-establish any links can start after we are independent.

Post by: Combe Up on Monday, May 27, 2019, 09:39:52 When I walk to work in Swindon, or talk to people in Swindon pubs, or chat to Swindon-based people on dating apps it always strikes me how cosmopolitan Swindon is. I like it.

Post by: horlock07 on Tuesday, May 28, 2019, 09:07:38 Surprised how big Northampton is and how small Newcastle is. Think is what many think of as Newcastle is actually loads of settlements which have all rather merged into one another! Title: Re: How relatively big is Swindon?
