I WRITE with reference to your report in yesterday’s Advertiser (Jan 18) about the current position of the wifi project. I am very pleased you are at last taking an interest in this subject and urge you to investigate further.

I find it absolutely incredible that Digital City is seeking further private investment when only a very small amount of the project has been completed to date following a very controversial £400,000 investment, as a shareholder, from Swindon Borough Council.

Just exactly how much of his own money has Mr Rikki Hunt invested in this project and also councillors Rod Bluh and Mark Edwards, the people who instigated this project without reference to fellow council members, and also Digital City director Coun Garry Perkins.

The councillors have continuously told us what a wonderful opportunity this represents to the people of Swindon, so if it is that good why aren’t investors queueing up down the M4 to get involved? Is it because like so many of us they believe the whole concept is flawed?
