Brown Sign on Tewkesbury Road
It seems someone in the Council supports our cause more than we know! How else can we explain these mystery brown signs? They look like the genuine article, produced perhaps in the genuine brown sign work shop – yet the wording is distinctly unofficial. Look out for them as you head out on the Tewkesbury Road just after Sainsbury’s – they are on the right hand side, so actually quite easy to miss. There are three or four others – see if you can spot them. If anyone sees anything similar please send details to info@savethecountryside.org.uk
PS. Remember to put 24th April in your diary – come to the Municipal Offices at 6pm and hear the Shadow Ministers, and also 17th May for the 2nd annual protest walk from Swindon Village to Elmstone Hardwicke starting at 2pm.
PPS. Check out the Science Festival program – on Friday 6th June there is a a debate on “The Value of Land“. Interested? Read on:
Our health and wellbeing, our native plants and animals and our economy all depend on how we choose to use our land. With increasing population pressures and a recession in full swing, how do we balance the needs of housing, agriculture, transport and business without losing our restful green spaces? Urban planner Mark Tewdwr-Jones and Tom Oliver from the Campaign for the Protection of Rural England debate the value of land.
Any follower of this website should turn up and pack this debate out with the Save The Countryside agenda.
