Swindon Leisure Future
Using the Oasis Leisure Centre reopening as an opportunity to examine the bigger picture. Focus on Promises → Decisions → Delivery → Outcomes → Future provision.
We avoid political personality conflicts. We focus on evidence, decisions, delivery and outcomes. The goal is a long-term leisure vision for Swindon, not short-term political point-scoring.
