Swindon Town FC

An unbeaten season and new money.

Well, although everyone awaits decisions on the way forward, there seems to be a true willingness to invest in Swindon Town FC. Some of the ideas - or rumours - are positive. I would like to see the investors revisiting the development proposals suggested by developers, St Modwen. There must be a compromise as to the quantum of development on the site, without removing most of the green area that local residents use. There will not be a great deal of money to made out of a development, but we could see new stand/s, improved hospitality areas, better community sports facilities and a significantly improved presentation to the outside world that all supporters and residents alike, would be proud of. Timing would be perfect now to have these discussions as the redevelopment of the town has started and an improved football club would be a massive lift to the regeneration agenda.

Hi there,

How are the CPO's progressing for Regent Place? Is progress being made? Is a summer 2008 start date still being aimed for?

Thanks,

The CPO is now progressing following the outline planning aproval in July. The process is like to take some 18 months with construction expected to start in 2009. The completion date for the development is Easter 2011. Progress has also been made on the college site with planning granted and demolition likely to start early in the new year
