TO Follow up M Sutton's article in the Adver of February 28, it seems obvious that Swindon Council is indeed intent on gridlocking the town.

The reason, I believe, is that the council has the intent to either prevent traffic entering the town centre (to force the use of buses, especially the useless park and ride system which, as everyone knows, is losing money every year) or to introduce a Ken Livingstone-type charge to drive in to Swindon.
