Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Community Centre, Guildford Avenue, Lawn Although much of the Lawn Estate is now around 50 years old, it was not until January 2002 that it got its own Community Centre. With a high proportion of elderly people, who had difficulty travelling far, there was a demand for such a facility for many years. Many other Swindon estates had Community Centres given them whether they wanted them or not, and as a result some have failed badly. But the one on Lawn has been a success story and is a tribute to the determination of the people who worked for many years to bring it about.
Interestingly the centre is in a building that used to be The Gamekeeper pub, although it has been much altered. The centre has no licensed bar because at a well attended local meeting residents made it clear they didn't want this. Their feelings having been influenced by the anti-social behaviour surrounding the pub in its later years. The Lawn Community Association who run the centre is entirely made up of volunteers. |
