Plans to create two new Investment Zones in Swindon have been submitted to the Government by Swindon Borough Council. The main aim of the zones is to drive economic growth and unlock new housing projects across the country.

The council has identified Central Swindon and the A419 Corridor as ideal areas for the zones, which would deliver a fast growth, high-value economy.

If the bids are successful, the zones will be offered tax breaks, stamp duty relief, national insurance contributions and relaxed planning laws, in order to encourage businesses to set up and grow.
