This weekend I was talking to residents around Purton Road in Moredon.  Many issues were raised – such as lack of facilities in the ward, closure of the local old-folks home, and  increasing costs in the Community Centre.  In Moredon Park there were concerns about local parking – similar to elsewhere in the Constituency.  I met with one resident who told me despite submitting 5 petitions he got no response by Tory run Swindon Borough Council or his local Tory Councillor.
While green parks must be kept green, there is scope small areas of grass to be used for temporary parking. Â These days you can get a cellular lattice of concrete that allows grass to grow through and keep a natural look to the area, while allowing free drainage of rainwater. Â Here I am with Maureen Caton, the Labour Candidate in the local elections, looking at one of the problem areas.
