Having waited several months for the redevelopment plans of the Mechanics Institute to be published, I'm more than a little disappointed.
The glass construction looks like a fourth Tricentre building.
I ask myself does Swindon centre need another hotel? Especially as the New Holiday Inn is soon to open. Also does it need another gym?
I seem to remember a promise being made to redevelop the institute for the people of Swindon, not for the benefit of passing businessmen.
