Forward Swindon is at the heart of Swindon’s strategy for delivering an ambitious 5 year town centre redevelopment plan that represents a once in a generation prospect of transformational change. A 2015 review of our role and activities secured the mandate and the funding to deliver the Council’s regeneration agenda for the town centre.

At the heart of this is a renewed focus on the opportunities presented by Swindon’s key development and regeneration sites and the town’s considerable advantages: its economic competitiveness, resilience, dynamism, location and connectivity, an outstanding natural setting on the doorstep of the Cotswolds and a unique, rich heritage. The Town Centre Delivery Plan, designed to transform Swindon’s town centre over the next five years, has been generated by Forward Swindon working with the Council and supported by a range of professional disciplines. Its purpose is to “catch the tide” of favourable market conditions to drive regeneration in the town centre and with wider catalytic improving effects on the town as a whole.

For more information on this new plan please use the following link to our web page Introducing Swindon’s new Town Centre Delivery Plan.

There is much exciting work to do. FSL is restructuring and we are now recruiting for ambitious and eager people to be part of a dynamic team driving Swindon’s regeneration. Please follow this link to our recruitment page.
