Can I reply to your article on Swindon's Front Garden. Having done some research may I bring to your attention a fact I have unearthed.

Fitzroy Pleydell Goddard bequeathed the lands on the front garden to our council solely to remain as recreation purposes for the people of Swindon. Before you, Mrs Bates and co, destroy our diminishing countryside further with your Swindon City campaign, do not forget your fundamental obligation to keep the Front Garden green and clean.
