If Sixth Sense Theatre pulls out of Swindon, then I wholeheartedly agree with Benedict Eccles that the town will indeed be 'a cultural desert' (EA, December 12).
Sixth Sense has provided the youth of the area with hard-hitting, issue-based drama of superb quality, that both educates and enthralls. This year's innovative residency project, aimed at reducing the borough's unacceptably high rate of teenage pregnancy, has had a huge impact on virtually all schools in the area.
To lose something of this quality would be folly especially for a place that aspires to city status.
