Swindon housing plans on show

Plans for a new housing development on the outskirts of Swindon have gone on public display.

The town's borough council plans to build 3,500 homes between South Marston and Wanborough.

The development of the greenfield site is part of plans to cope with housing growth in the area over the next decade.

The public are being asked for their comments on the plans, which feature 13 alterations from the originals.

An independent panel will then decide on the final plan in June 2004.

The proposals are on show at the Pilgrim Centre in Regent Circus until 8 December.
