Local Conservatives Support Development without Infrastructure in Shaw

For the last 10 years, the local Conservative councillors have presided over and supported planned development that swallows up Swindon’s countryside and threatens Shaw residents’ quality of life. 

For the last 10 years, the local Conservative councillors have presided over and supported planned development that swallows up Swindon’s countryside and threatens Shaw residents’ quality of life. Your elected Shaw councillors have shown that they continuously vote for inappropriate development by their voting record on the council’s planning committee.

I understand that everyone needs a home to live in but I do not support development whilst medical facilities, schools, roads, water, sewage and flood prevention struggle to keep pace with spiralling demand.

Your local councillors have done nothing to secure the desperately needed Thamesdown Drive/Barnfield link road to take traffic away from Shaw. Whilst Mead Way grinds to a daily halt your Conservative councillors dither and backslide having spent the design and construction money elsewhere in Swindon.
