The latest proposal is called The Tent. A spokesman explained, “It’s so much more than just a world-class road junction. It’s whatever people want it to be; whatever they wish it could be; whatever they need it to be. This is about removing the limits from Swindonians’ aspirations and dreams. It’s a circus. It’s a conference venue. It’s a leisure centre. We’ve got tight-rope walkers, A1 flipchart stands and a fifty metre swimming pool. But that’s just the beginning. It’s a cinema – a sea life centre – a concert venue. We’ll have the latest Hollywood blockbusters, swimming with dolphins and… Did someone say Take That!?”.
Once complete, there’s talk of Bruce Street Bridges becoming a unitary authority, independent of Swindon, paving the way for the obvious next step – an application for city status. “We’ve not designed-in the cathedral yet”, he explained, “but we’re confident the tent would take the load, as long as we use the same pre-fab plasterboard and polystyrene construction that we’ve pioneered in Plaza 21”.
