The consultation process for a new bus corridor between Wichelstowe and the town centre via Old Town and Mannington will continue in February with a series of public meetings.

The meetings follow consultations in September, early October and December 2016 on proposals that were formed from a first round of talking to the public.

Three separate proposal options included one route through Old Town and two for the Mannington Roundabout/Wootton Bassett Road.

If you would like to discuss the plans with Swindon Borough Council’s Transport Planning team, there will be a series of informal drop-in consultation events at the following times and venues:
