HAS the whole world gone mad or is it just Swindon?

We live in a town whose infrastructure is poor at the very least.

A town that comes to a standstill when access to Whitehouse bridges is closed; a town where the education of our secondary school pupils is failing; a town whose recycling facilities can barely cope with the amount of people using it at present; a town that can only provide Christmas lights for part of the town centre.

What are we doing considering another 3,800 houses, and on a Greenfield site to boot!

Does someone in the council think that by increasing the amount of houses here we will automatically gain city status due to the sheer size of Swindon?

Or is it a financial consideration after all 3,800 houses generates an awful lot of extra monthly income for the council?

Maybe it could spend this on our failing services, or maybe it could be added to the mismanaged pension fund fiasco!

This town cannot cope with any more people.
