    Council leader hails transformation of former Swindon car plant (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    This week I want to focus on something which I think says a great deal about Swindon's economy and the opportunities ahead of us. I recently visited Panattoni Park Swindon, on the former Honda site, with our Economic Development team. Having been involved with the site for a number of years, it was quite something to stand inside the newly completed S920 building – more than 900,000 square feet of high-quality employment space and the largest speculative Grade A facility of its kind in the UK.

    Swindon seeks more foster carers as children in care face complex needs (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    One of the biggest challenges facing councils across the country is the huge and growing demand for children’s services. Working alongside Cllr Kate Tomlinson, cabinet member for children and education, improving outcomes for children in Swindon is one of our top priorities, particularly as we prepare for the service’s forthcoming Ofsted inspection. More children are coming into care with increasingly complex needs at the same time as fewer people are coming forward to foster. This is putting co

    Works set for Swindon Household Waste Recycling Centre (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

Rather than pretending otherwise, we have concentrated on what we said we would do: getting the Council Back to Basics and focusing on the things residents quite reasonably expect their Council to get right. There are already visible signs of that approach.

    Swindon council leader warns of ‘tighter financial control’ this year (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    We have been completely clear about the scale of the financial challenge we inherited, and the work needed to put the Council back on a sustainable footing. As part of that work, the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy is carrying out a further independent review of the Council’s finances. We are already implementing the recommendations of a previous review, while this latest assessment will give us a deeper understanding of the action still required. Popular Swindon festival i

    There is plenty to be positive about in Swindon (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    This summer is providing a welcome opportunity to get out across Swindon and spend more time in our communities. For the new administration, that means being visible in our wards, listening to residents, and dealing with the issues people raise with us directly. It also means making sure the Council is focused on the things that make a difference to everyday life. Hundreds line High Street to say last goodbye to beloved pet shop owner The Big Town Centre Clean-Up is a good example of that approa
