A SPRUCED up community centre is on the cards for Eldene by the end of next month. Work has started on a major project to smarten up the beach area in front of the facility and create a new community garden. The long-awaited revamp is being funded with £230,000 from Swindon Borough Council after cabinet members decided it was a priority building. The plans include landscaping the beach area, installing new gates at Eldene pre-school gates and replacing lighting and furniture. “It’s great, as it started on time with the work going ahead as planned,” Kevin Parry, chairman of Eldene, Nythe and Liden Parish Council told the Adver.
