Not a birthday to celebrate, but we're going to make the best of it! Friday 17th March marks three years since @SwindonCouncil closed the Swindon Museum and Art Gallery. Join us at 1pm outside Apsley House for cake and cards and keep up the pressure to #FreeOurCroc

Looking forward to the @FrSMAG AGM this evening, where Cllr Matty Courtliff will be speaking about the current plans for the Swindon Museum and Art Gallery. It'll be great to catch up with all the members of the Friends who are planning to be there, too!

Thanks to everyone who attended yesterday, it was a great turnout! If you missed it: a) Cllr Courtliff has promised to make the presentation available online very soon b) feel free to send us your thoughts/feedback and we'll pass them on, or just send them straight to SBC

@SaveOasis I'd like to say a massive weldone to the team. Without hard work behind the scenes to raise awareness and support the listing the oasis would be long gone! I know we are not over the line yet but at last signs are positive and that is largely down to you guys. 👏👏👏

Following this evening’s Scrutiny Committee meeting, the Council will now progress the sale of a plot of land within the 20-acre brownfield site next to Fleming Way to a major financial institution for the development of a high-quality build-to-rent scheme of around 100 homes.

Do check out the plans for the Civic Offices that have been published. We're expecting SBC to announce how they'll share more info publicly soon.

We've been meeting with SBC regularly over the last few months about their plans for the new museum and art gallery. Whilst any announcements are theirs to make, not ours - comms still not a strong point - we thing you all deserve an update!

Just had a look at the plans for the @MuseumandArt, and surprised to see that most of the space is actually storage and offices. Display space is less than half total (270m2 ish); less than was at Apsley House (350 ish). I thought we were promised "40% more space"?

As the building is now listed as a Community Asset, there's a brief window for the building to be saved if a suitable buyer and funds can be found.
