The Culture and Leisure Strategy was adopted by Swindon Borough Council on April 24, 2003. During 2003-04, it will be amalgamated with the Community Strategy which is currently in development. Swindon Borough Council believes that culture and leisure, and participation in cultural and leisure activities, are equal in importance to its other core services.

Our vision is for Swindon to be a place which fully integrates cultural and leisure activity into all aspects of life and work in the borough.

Culture and leisure form a central part of Swindon's regeneration and future growth, in both rural and urban parts of the borough, and are a way of ensuring its sustainable development.

This Culture and Leisure Strategy is an excellent start to an exciting period in Swindon's development.
