Highworth Town Council will be discussing the plans for Swindon Town’s new training facility at the Twelve Oaks golf club tonight at their planning meeting.
The new training ground which is set to cost in the region of £6million to complete includes the new club headquarters, a purpose-built training centre and gymnasium along with eight grass training pitches and a full size all-weather 4G floodlit pitch.
Lee Power has previously commented on the plans saying: “We have worked tirelessly to secure planning for our development- this has been a huge financial and resource cost with our team working long hours and weekends to meet Local Authority timetables.
“This development has been an extremely complex application, and we are positive we meet all the criteria set out to secure this planning application”
Should the plans get the green light it would mean the Swindon Town would finally have their own training ground for the first time since leaving King Edwards Place in Wanborough training at Beversbrook in Calne and also last minute trips to Melksham Town and Hungerford Town this season.
