This is the relevant organisation that seems to be in the forefront of protecting the River Kennet. Expansion by Swindon has always been a problem, I would have thought that with the universities pulling out of the Coate Water business, house building would seem to be on hold.
Ark seem to have run a campaign in June, with letters etc
I have to admit I was shocked when I read this report today as I always thought Swindon's water was supplied by Thames Water drawn from an underground reservoir north of the town. I wonder where Marlborough gets its water from.
Believe me, there are plenty of people who live in Swindon who don't want further expansion. As I am sure you know the petitian to save the land at Coate was signed by 55,000 people.
