Wow, I love that second photo. That would definitely make a good article. Together with the great quote from someone who said "“I feel very, very strongly the Lawns should be left as they are. They are the closest thing Swindon has got to ancient sacred space and I will fight this” .... and then left. Was that you? The developer would definitely call you a crank and I'd definitely say hero.

Let's codge something together. I guess the approach should be to try to preserve the best bits not oppose the whole thing, but I dunno, it looks so beautiful. What about calling for it to be a wild flower meadow? Everyone loves those, they're like kittens. ;)


Thanks Nigel, yes that was me. I don't object to the development proposals at all, it would certainly enhance what has recently become the fashionable part of town. My only concern is preserving the Lawns as an open space to walk - without cars. Can't do anything until the planning application goes in and, as I mentioned, the developer has stalled though is saying it is still on track. If he's got any sense he will have found another solution for car parking.

Anyways, don't suppose UNESCO would be interested - so back the A303/Stonehenge and The Lake District :)
