SWINDON Borough Council is sending out reams of literature to concerned residents asking for their opinions in respect of a monstrous increase in housing development and in particular the area surrounding Coate Water.

If memory serves, promises were given by Swindon Borough Council that planning permission for development in the region of Coate Water would be restricted to the erection of a new hospital.

Swindon Borough Council having reneged on this promise, should now be subjected to investigation by the Local Ombudsman.
