I CANNOT think of a good reason why the University of Bath is insisting on a site adjacent to the hospital rather than a site in the centre of town.

Siting the university in the centre of Swindon would bring new life to the area with the added bonus perhaps of having an Arts Centre with a multi-purpose hall like they have at Warwick University.

With all the schemes taking place in other towns why does Swindon find it impossible to get anything off the ground. I've been waiting 30 years for something exciting to happen in the centre of Swindon.
