PARENTS who want to entertain their children during the summer holiday and keep them fit to boot should go to Coate Water, according to one Swindon councillor.
Fionuala Foley (Con, Old Town and Lawns) has thrown her weight behind a new cycle hire scheme at the country park.
Bikes can now be hired and there is a 10 per cent discount for groups of ten or more. And recognised schools or youth projects in the borough receive an added bonus with an adult getting their cycle free with every ten children in a group.
Coun Foley said: "This is an exciting new opportunity for people to enjoy our wonderful Coate water facilities."
Further discounts are available on production of a Swindon Card.
