Jane Milner-Barry

In 2014 the Croft Sports Centre was about to be passed to GLL in a property deal based on the Council’s transfer of the Oasis to Moirai. As a retired Old Town resident I campaigned to stop this happening and that led to my being elected in 2016 and joining Nadine Watts as a Labour Councillor for Old Town and East Wichel. I am also Labour Group spokesperson for sustainability. In both capacities I have had to learn on the job and it has been hard work but very rewarding! As a Parish Councillor I have been involved with South Swindon Parish’s projects to improve our parks, play areas, allotments and our Library. I am working for better management of Lawn Woods and the Great Copse, and if re-elected will step up the fight for more forward-looking policies to reduce carbon emissions and increase biodiversity across the Borough.
