I HAVE just solved a big problem. We in Swindon are wondering where to put a casino. I can't believe nobody has thought of the Mechanics Institute as a perfect venue for such a place.
I can hear the 80 fruit machines clattering away in what was the auditorium of the theatre and plenty of space for gaming tables all over the building. Las Vegas in Emlyn Square.
The people that will use the casino are not there to get stoned out of their minds. So there shouldn't be a noise problem for local people. With a restaurant in the old reading room it would bring a bit of life to a dull area.
