IT'S a cultural delight, so said a headline in the Evening Advertiser of July 27, referring to the forthcoming Swindon Mela on July 31.
Was it the successful occasion the organisers had expected with programme of all things Asian?
How I would have liked the opportunity to find out!
Instead, myself and many other motorists were caught up in the traffic chaos and subsequent gridlock in the Westlecot/Springfield roads area, for some considerable time in sweltering heat.
I was unable to keep my arranged appointment and my planned visit to the Town Gardens on that afternoon never did materialise.
Should there be another event of this nature I do hope adequate traffic arrangements are in operation with great thought for the access of the emergency services.
