After years of debate, discussion and inquiries, development is at last going ahead on the controversial 'Front Garden' site just south of the Old Town area of Swindon. It is low lying land north of the M4 and reportedly prone to flooding. If anyone is sufficiently interested googling 'front garden swindon' will pull up lots of references. In this view to the north, the long-established Belmont Crescent area of large houses is visible at the top of the scarp. The road in the foreground is a haul road for construction vehicles.
