Community Radio 105.5 want to start a new programme called ‘Swindon Voices’ where they will interview local residents about their experiences and views on Swindon, this could marry up with the history project as we want to record the oral history of this area and they have the recording equipment. Informal chats could be held before the monthly BSACC meetings and recorded for both the radio station, if people give their permission, and also for our archive.
This year, a class at Drove School are looking at the history of the road names in Broadgreen.
At the next Saturday Community Plan meeting, people will be able to bring along their history bits and documents so they can be scanned onto a computer for archiving.
