Councillor Cindy Matthews Opposed to Lydiard Park Development

Cindy is strongly opposed to the Taylor Wimpey’s proposed housing development on fields bordering Lydiard Park. Cindy believes this will both diminish the approach to Lydiard House and risk development of the whole area. 

Cindy is strongly opposed to the Taylor Wimpey’s proposed housing development on fields bordering Lydiard Park. Cindy believes this will both diminish the approach to Lydiard House and risk development of the whole area. Cindy fought to stop the Hook Street development, which was eventually approved due to the government’s changes to the planning rules making a “presumption in favour of development”.

Cindy said “With the Hook Street development getting the goahead by the government it is imperative that there are no further housing developments in West Swindon, especially not on land so close to Lydiard Park”
