Swindon car parks and public loos 'not needed' by council

The council owns several floors of the town centre David Murray John building

Car parks, former public lavatories and floors of the David Murray John Tower have been deemed surplus to requirement by Swindon Borough Council.

Several different floors or parts of floors between the third and the tenth floor in the DMJ tower are not needed.

Car parks which the council says it doesn't need include the site of the former Carlton Street multi-storey.

The asset register is a list of all the real estate the council owns, said the Local Democracy Reporting Service.

Other car parks on the list also include the former Parade multi-storey and the car park in Shaw Village Centre.

With public lavatories across the borough being closed over the last decade, many make an appearance on the list as not required.

There are also a number of shops and other units in the town centre deemed to be unwanted by the council, such as offices in Regent Street, Havelock Street and Regent Circus.

Other assets included are the unused bowls club at the Country Ground sports club and the former Connexions building in Theatre Square.
