“CUTBACKS could scupper plans” says Adver headline (SA, May 27 2010). The new government’s plans to save £6.2bn could affect Swindon’s regeneration programme.
Due to cutbacks in funding to the South West Regional Development Agency the quango that was wasting money on such projects as Swindon’s Regents Circus redevelopment provides just another excuse for this do nothing council whose leader said on February 21, 2006 of Swindon’s empty spaces, they will soon be filled.
“Rodrick” your days are numbered, while voters were electing a Con/Dem government, Labour was gaining 420 seats and 15 councils from Tory, Lib/Dem and Con/Dem constituencys across the country.
Remember Tory government Labour councils Labour government Tory councils. It took seven years to change Labour to Tory yours will probably go next year!
