and something slse lifted from the trust sight by Alan Hayward-
Our regional quango, the South West Regional Assembly, has included the redevelopment of the County Ground (along with the Oasis) in the first draft of the Regional Spatial Strategy. This is the new development "masterplan" for the SW and goes out to 2026. So it's official, then:
5.2.8 Other Infrastructure
The development strategy for Swindon will require additional investment in social and community infrastructure including:
...
• new regional-level sporting and cultural facilities;
• upgrading of existing sporting facilities including the Swindon Town Football Stadium and Oasis Leisure Centre

Along with another 35,000 houses for Swindon, of course. Yeah right. Social engineering at its worst.
