I've seen friends complaining about this on FB. It seems fucking ridiculous considering the town centre is apparently in dire need of investment.

I've just realised this only comes up when you're logged in. Any chance of moving it to the General section Flasheart?

Signed this yesterday and shared.
Newsquests parting shot for Swindon
Old town still has a bit of character, something that tower block will destroy.

It won't happen in a million years. Classic developer's ploy - put in ridiculous application then negotiate with the Council and amend application to something that you wanted in the first place. Local councillors and residents relieved because monstrosity avoided and less likely to object to amended plans

Is it just me or does it look like the plans were designed using Minecraft?
Isn't this a pre sale planning permission effort in which case it is more to get better value on the property and land?

The snobbery in that petition is off the scale.

That petition is hilariously pompous and cringe. Old Town wishes it was the new Peckham! Certainly know where I'd rather go for an evening.
For that reason, I'm out.

I would have signed the petition having seen the adver article on the issue, then I read it.
Not for me when it's worded how it is.

Yep, agreed, the petition is worded badly. Stuck it up here and signed it as I believe the principal and size of the proposed development is wrong.

Having lived in Old Town for a few years, I agree with the broad sentiment. But there's a lot of very odd, borderline libel stuff there - including some pretty horrendous and unfounded accusations against the Adver and a total nonsense promotion of a random website as a news organisation. All that is putting me off signing, which is sad (and a little illogical).
