IT is good to see the letters re Save Coate.
Unfortunately the institutionalised planning process we have in place makes it highly likely that the University Campus will be built around Coate Water in spite of the objections of a sizeable number of the population of Swindon as the university follows it's policy of lebens-raum.
We can probably expect the university to seek to change the name from Coate Water to Bath Water.
Perhaps we will then see a move to change Swindon's name to Big Bath to help us distinguish from the university's current home, Little Bath aka Bath Tub.
Fingers crossed that there's still time to pull the plug.
