Adver readers reacted to news of flats being built on the site of a former nightclub in the town centre which was gutted by fire.

Property developer Armada Holdings Ltd was previously given permission to knock down the commercial building which held the bar and club Broadwalk at 32-34 Bridge Street and put up a five-storey building, with a mixed commercial and residential use in its place, last year.

This was after a huge blaze had completely gutted the abandoned club that had been closed and unused for some time.

But it has now been given permission by Swindon Borough Council for a proposal where the new building will have six floors, which will increase the number of flats from 19 to 23.

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

Allan Bott said: “What a shock. Flats. How convenient, there was a fire!”
