Swindon in the news
Forward Swindon has proactively worked on getting Swindon in the news and last year has seen an unprecedented amount of positive coverage on Swindon’s growing economy and the benefits of living and working here.
The coverage included a number of key regeneration projects which shows the improvements being made to the town centre and the development of a new Central Business District along with the much loved Oasis Leisure Centre. In September and October both the Swindon Business News and the Swindon Advertiser covered an exhibition on the Town Centre Masterplan and the Kimmerfields development.
