General Improvements Needed<br />
• “I feel that given time, goodwill and adequate funding, <strong>Swadlincote</strong> can<br />
become an attractive town for residents and visitors. Voluntary groups may<br />
wish to 'adopt' an area. Keeping it free of litter and keeping open areas dug<br />
(where appropriate) and clean.”<br />
• “In the 50's, 60's and to some degree the 70's <strong>Swadlincote</strong> was a vibrant and<br />
busy town centre. Sadly once it was pedestrianised this altered and it has<br />
never been the same again. Small useful businesses disappeared, and<br />
supermarkets, betting shops, card shops arrived!”<br />
• <strong>Swadlincote</strong> could be an attractive historic town, if it were updated<br />
significantly. We need to considerably change the type of shops, add more,<br />
improve both the appearance and introduce more facilities.”<br />
• <strong>Swadlincote</strong> has an expanding population. Lots of new estates. More facilities<br />
are needed in the area. Improved leisure. More dentists, and better health<br />
facilities. Possibly more nurseries for under 5's.”<br />
• There are parts of the town centre that need improving. I.e the Delph, the old<br />
pipeworks and where Kwiksave was.<br />
• Area needs to be updated with modern facilities and furnishings as per other<br />
town, i.e Nuneaton, Sutton coldfield, Tamworth. <strong>Council</strong> needs to look<br />
around.”
