Better youth facilities are one of our top priorities. New Youth Facilities: Last year we opened new Youth Club serving Parks and we will continue to support this important project. Park North: We have allocated money to create new children’s football pitches on Buckhurst Fields and are pressing for new facilities for Park North West Walcot: We worked with the community to repaint Lainesmead Play Area.
Litter at Lainesmead: We organised a Clean Up session for Councillors and the community to clean up our area. I have also asked for the lane by Lainesmead to be cleaned up by the Council. Clean up Sussex Square: Over the summer we organised a clean up of Sussex Square as part of a day of action in the ward. We have also arranged another clean up session during the Autumn. Buckhurst Fields & New College: In the…
Labour Action: In 2 years we have cleaned up Lyndhurst Crescent, Cranmore Avenue, buckhurst Fields, and New College. Tory Failure: Unlike the Tories, we don’t talk about cleaning up litter, we do it. Labour Action: Our Pot Holes campaign led to pot holes being filled and resurfacing of Kingswood Av, Whitbourne Av and Upham Road. Tory Failure: Tory cuts to the road repairs budget led to Swindon being labelled Pot Hole City.

Labour Action: Through partnership with the local community, we secured £52,000 investment for projects in Parks and Walcot. We have opened new Youth Club serving Parks. We have also allocated money to create new children’s football pitches on buckhurst Fields. Tory Failure: Tory Council ‘lost’ the money that was allocated to Parks and Walcot. Tory Councillors for Walcot could not agree on how to spend the money and so investment went unspent for a year.
