THE deadline to have a say in Swindon's future has been extended to Monday, October 31.

Residents in Swindon are being invited to comment on the council's 50 promises by completing an online survey.

Called Swindon 2010. Taking Control Of Our Future, the 50 promises were launched in June and hope to improve the town.

The council wants to hear the views of local people.

"These promises are our commitment to the residents of the borough to make Swindon a great place to live, work and visit," said council leader Mike Bawden.

The Advertiser is running a pledgewatch series of articles each Monday examining the promises. The next one will be on staff sickness levels.
