Coate .... again

[Bushey Boy]

OK so we have many debates on this, but can you blame the developers going to the government.  SBC have sat on the plans etc for nearly a year and not given any idea of a solution.  Why not use the area as a countrypark/marine boilogy type wildlife university? You could place the students accomodation where the old police station and post offices were and they can use the bus route to teh hospital as transport.

To protect Coate issue a one mile ring around it that will never be developed.  Just seems this town is full of short sighted people who are scared of change.

Your views?

Agree, perfect location for a stadium aswell. Bet alans busy.

Personally Bushey i dont think Coate should be developed,but if it is the people of Swindon should be balloted on it....why should a few councillors get the say on what happens to a part of Swindon that belongs to us....the people who live here should decide on what happens there IMO.

[yeo]

Dont think it should be developed.Hasnt the raping of the front garden stalled due to the credit crunch why should this be different? They've dug the front gardenl up and now stopped building,walk up the Old Town Railway Path you'll see what a mess they've made.Coate isnt a big area,why must every inch of  the green space this town be developed? a balance has to be struck and developing coate is a step over the mark.

If the Goverment give them the go ahead im doing a Swampy.

well the people of Swindon vote for the Councillers to make these decisions dont they?

Yeovil, the infrastructure is in, bricks have been stopped being manufactured and the problems have been sorted before it goes worse!

I agree what your saying but Swindon Council and the government need the money.

Might as well get a solution sorted IMHO

[leefer]

No they dont Yeovil...thats the point,less than 30% do so 70% have no intention of voting for councilors who constantly take the piss...have you seen the mechanics institute,its a fukin disgrace,yet they can find millions for a new shopping centre...like we havnt got enough shopping centres in the west.

Whats that thing they are building on fleming way, were the ford dealership used to be?

[yeo]

hmmm but can you blame the Council because people cant motivate themselves to exercise thier democratic right to vote? Its just another example of the average Swindoner not giving a fuck about the Town.  

As I understand it Coate is to be 1500 houses a Primary School and a University Campus but the developers wont say what uni they have interested since Bath bailed making it sound like they are making it up?

A Giant house of Cheese for the Mice

[Bogus Dave]

What a waste of the tax payers money. They should build more houses instead

[yeo]

Pfft the Mice pay there way! except the Albanian ones that is...

[Bushey Boy]

Ford garage is flats - look good at teh mo.

Um mechanics and brunel are now private companies - not council as they SOLD them.
