News of plans to turn Abbey Stadium into homes and a community hub has not gone down well.

Gaming International hopes to build more than 100 new homes on the former home of Swindon Speedway, along with a convenience store, a micro takeaway and other retail units, a community café, sports club facilities and multi-function spaces.

Swindon Borough Council will debate whether or not to approve these plans at a future meeting.

Here’s what you had to say on the matter.

Timothy O’Sullivan said: “Amazing that one of the top Speedway Teams in the UK over many years has been trashed by utter greed.

“Any of the other towns/cities with great Speedway Teams are rightfully proud of them, but here they were just a problem standing in the way of profit. Shameful conduct from every person involved.

“The last time I went to Swindon, it was packed, there were thousands there, and it was a league fixture, not a special night. They did seem well supported to me.”
