Among the doom and gloom of Covid and Brexit and town centre shop closures there's some good local news in the restoration of The Watchers.

The Watchers form part of the West Swindon sculpture walk. These sculptures are a culturally significant part of the West Swindon landscape, installed in the late 1970s/early 1980s. Roger Ogle has done much to champion them - then much than him - later so have I. Despite the fact that they've been shamefully neglected by our town's leaders for decades now, they remain things of enjoyment and an untapped resource I'm sure. If the powers that be did but know it.
