REGENT Circus has been labelled a disaster after another restaurant left the struggling town centre complex. The closure of Swindon s Prezzo branch by the Italian chain s new owners Cain International means just three of the units on the site are active. Built at a cost of £50m on the former Swindon College site and hailed as a triumph for the town when it opened as recently as 2014, Regent Circus now faces an uncertain future. Its centrepiece has sat empty since Morrisons shut up shop in late 2019. Veteran Lib Dem councillor Stan Pajak represents Eastcott and campaigned for the supermarket to stay open.

A CGI of the Institute of Technology Rodbourne: A plan to convert the abandoned telephone exchange building in the historic GWR works district into seven flats, which had been previously turned down, has been refused again. Highworth Homes’ proposal to covert the late Victorian building in Firefly Avenue into apartments was refused by members of the council’s planning committee in November 2019. Members thought the need for an external staircase and landing running past bedrooms in the flats, and the lack of car car parking and cycle storage, which is only accessible when the underpass between the works district and Bristol Street is open, were unacceptable.
