Pictures have shown the progress made by a major development scheme that could create jobs in Swindon.

Planning permission was granted in June for the Swindon Trade Park development, on Gipsy Lane and Cirencester Way.

Since then, construction has been ramping up in a scheme that will create seven warehouses or industrial buildings at the site, with completion expected in early 2025.

In September it was announced Tile Mountain had secured three units while two more remained under offer after being marketed by JLL Properties.

“We will have the two largest units, units one and two available still.

“They will complete construction of the whole scheme by early January 2025 based on the current timetable.”

During the planning process, developer Cubex Land said the project could boost job prospects in the area.

A spokesperson added: “The proposals represent a substantial investment to the area and in particular, the development will help to promote and support employment growth and stimulate economic growth.

“It is anticipated the development will act as a catalyst to create several new jobs and inject investment into the local community.”
