Entirely predictable. Our council is truly a joke.

Laughing stock, yes... but the Magic Roundabout is brilliant, and the Canal idea at its core is a good one. There are a few details wrong with it, but the principal is interesting, and more outside the box than the usual 'more shops/restaurants/apartments' that they usually come up with.

the canal idea wont ever happen.the amount of work needed would be massive, and it would take years to do. if they cannot come up with a half decent town centre,how on earth will a canal through the middle of it come to fruition? nice idea for cloud cookoo land but not swindon

Ahh, but maybe the reason they can't come up with a half decent town centre is because nobody ever gives an ambitious idea like the canal a go.

FWIW, after the piss taking most of my colleagues in Brizzle reckoned the Disney thing was a major coup for Swindon and were quite put out by it. Maybe Disney could lend us some of these to ride up and down the canal in?

i really don't think swindon town centre is that bad, it could do with a few cosmetic improvements and a few less pigeons but it's still nicer than a lot of places i've seen.
but then i guess i don't live there

was always going to happen. Just like the old College will just sit there to rot and look even more of an eyesore with the Town Centre surrounded by grafity riddled white boards around sites htat have been knocked down and not replaced. I got an idea why not build flats or a hotel in these places.. oh wait...

It's OK. We are trying to preserve our highstreet so in 100 years time people will come to Swindon to see "the way we were in the 70s/80s". Then who will be laughing. Not Bristol that's who.
