Lived here from 77-02. Came back for a visit a couple of years back and was shocked by the decline of the town centre. Tents for the homeless in the Wyvern carpark.
@@loosesurfer Plenty of great looking places situated near to Swindon include Oxford, Cheltenham, Bath, Salisbury & Reading. Even out of town centre shopping areas such as The Designer Outlet & Orbital Shopping Centres in Swindon are great. It is simply the town centre itself that looks dreary & neglected with all its closed shops & new development builds going on such as the proposed new bus station.
@DarrenMartin-x9v very true shame about the crime situation in swondon though. So many stabbings and even murders in our town is wild. Hopefully things drastically improve
RIP - knowing what it's like now, hard to watch
Michael George it’s literally the shit hole of south England
I agree
@@lynxyt_194 thre brunel centre is going to be empty in a few years time, no question

it's not that bad
😂when I lived in Oxford, the local evening paper had the headline, ‘SWINDON IS A DUMP’!!
I got out in 1987 thanks to my Dad. Maybe Swindon will be more interesting in 2080. It needs time to become attractive to people.
Painful to watch. Swindon now is a dump. Get out if you still can.
There should I move to I genuinely want to move but am unsure where to move to that's not as bad 😂
Agreed, town centre is like another world now.
@@InformationImportant-ho7nuIt's another country now. Whenever I go into town I rarely see another white person.
