The location of Forward Swindon has been moved back within the Council Offices in Watt Tyler House, after 8 years of operation outside of the Council. However the Conservative administration are still keeping Forward Swindon as a registered private company.
The Swindon Labour Group has held a long established position of bringing the functions of Forward Swindon back within the responsibility of Swindon Council, rather than have a private company fulfilling these functions.
At the February Budget Meeting the Labour Group proposed a budget amendment that would save Swindon taxpayers £80K per year by bringing back the functions of Forward Swindon in-house.
