Swindon town centre regeneration
A 21st century town centre

The Heart of Swindon is our long-term plan to transform the town centre into a vibrant and welcoming place for people to live, work and visit. It sets out eight key ambitions focused on sustainability, economic growth, culture and high-quality public spaces.

We are creating a modern, mixed-use town centre with new homes, jobs, greener streets and better transport connections. Major investment is already underway through a range of major long-term projects, including infrastructure upgrades, public realm improvements and new residential and commercial developments.

Sustainability is at the heart of the vision. This includes more green space, safer walking and cycling routes, and energy-efficient buildings. Alongside these efforts, a number of smaller projects are already improving public spaces, enhancing safety and supporting local activity.

The Council is working closely with residents, businesses, landlords and developers to shape this transformation. Through strong partnerships and ongoing engagement, we are ensuring that regeneration reflects the needs and aspirations of the local community.

Swindon's regeneration is not only about physical change. It is about renewing pride in the town centre and building a place where people feel connected, welcomed and part of a shared future. You can find more detail in our frequently asked questions.

We welcome questions, feedback and ideas from anyone interested in shaping the future of Swindon town centre.
