AS a West Swindon councillor I was dismayed to read there had been £750,000 spent on the football ground development on Shaw tip.
There is a saying that a fool and his money are soon parted. There is another saying, who is the fool? The fool or those who follow the fool? I hope everyone involved in this sorry saga, reflects on these sentiments.
The sum of £750,000 is a lot of money, but in football it is peanuts it is about the monthly earnings of a decent player in any top flight club.
Whereas our forest is priceless. Hope this message is being received loud and clear.
