A SERIES of exhibitions about the expansion of Swindon is underway.

If the area is chosen for expansion by the South West Regional Assembly it could have to find land for an extra 24,000 homes between 2016 and 2026.

A consultation document is available from Swindon Council, libraries, or on www.swindon.gov.uk/environment/forward. More information is available from Mark Newey on 01793 466031.
