I am the Councillor who has been leading on the County Ground redevelopment, so if you have any questions I am happy to answer them.

Is this some sort of wind up? If not, are you slightly in love with yourself?
Also if anyone has any questions for a tight arsed half scotsman feel free to ask away!

Well, as you may have read on the Trust site, I don't live in Swindon, so have no real links to what is going on with the club other than the 'net.
What are the realistic time-scales of something actually being done? Are we talking redevelopment in a seasons/couple of seasons time, or is it a lot further off than that?

Well when we first sat down with the club, speed was of the essence. In theory should they be able to agree with their developer partner(s), then it could start to happen very quickly because a lot would be simply modernising the stadium (rather than a whole new ground). The key at the moment is that the club can broker a deal with a developer to make it worth while. |

As you're also lead Councillor for Swindon Services....do you think the fiasco over recycling and refuse ( the streets around me are curently festooned with bright orange boxes in various states of disarray) is a resigning offence?
Are you prepared to resign from the council if the CG redevelopment goes tits up and leads to the death of the football club?

Overall the recycling scheme has been a success, so I won't resigning for that! I am not the key player in this, my role was purely to get the club to explore the County Ground site, which I have done. It is for the club to decide whether a scheme can stack up. |

If we put a rubbish bin in the middle of the County Ground, would it make more tackles than Hewlett did last season, discuss?

I thought they held more than that? You have also been given a weekly, full kerbside recycling option. The idea is to get people recycling more, and less stuff sent to landfill which is costing a fortune and is bad for the environment. |

JT though apart from trying to get the Councuil to build us a new football ground....is in charge of Swindon Services which are presently in a farcical mess. This is not the sort of thing to fill you with confidence. |
