A brand-new road which will provide a link between the 8,000-home New Eastern Villages (NEV) and Commonhead roundabout is likely to open in the spring after the company that built it went into administration.
Buckingham Group called in administrators Grant Thornton last month shortly after completing the new Southern Connector Road.
However, despite building the road, the company wasn’t able to complete the necessary safety and technical checks, so over the next few months, Swindon Borough Council will carry out their own technical checks. This is to make sure the road meets the necessary nationally-recognised standards and will continue to meet the needs of the local community for decades to come.
