Lydiard Park Heritage Trust - the preferred bidder for managing Lydiard House & Park

We have supported the Trust’s bid to take over the management of Lydiard House & Park but Swindon Borough Council have suddenly and unilaterally decided to abandon plans to transfer operational and management control of Lydiard Park to the Lydiard Park Heritage Trust and bring the process to an end.

       Their decision leaves Lydiard without an effective management team and at grave risk.
