THE problems with television reception being experienced by people in the Upham Road area of Walcot since the New College rebuilding should be addressed immediately.

When it comes to providing education, a number of factors are of great importance.

It is vital, for example, that there are dedicated staff to enable students to fulfil their potential. We have those staff in Swindon.

It is vital that there are diligent students eager to make the best of all opportunities. We have such students in Swindon.

It is also vital that the community should be sympathetic toward and proud of its educational institutions. In Swindon, we have such a community.

What a shame it would be, then, if a certain amount of goodwill toward the college were lost because of television reception problems which can cost as little as £100 per household to rectify.

The total cost of solving the problems in the Upham Road area would probably amount to several thousand pounds but what is that in relation to a £15 million building budget?
