Workshop: Getting the Builders In

Building a house extension can be a stressful and bureaucratic experience, but Swindon Borough Council is offering to minimise the pain with two free workshops for residents.

They will be held between 12.00pm and 2.00pm at the Civic Offices in Euclid Street with a choice of either Wednesday 25th April or Wednesday 6th June.  

Council planning experts will be on hand to explain how building designs can be made to comply with planning and building regulations. They will also be providing advice on how to make sure the building work delivers what is wanted from the extension, and some useful tips on finding a good builder in the first place.

The workshops are free to residents of Swindon borough. Anyone wishing to attend either event should phone 01793 445500 or email [email protected] to register their interest and their preferred date.
