A MEMBER of the team that worked on the Oasis Leisure Centre has spoken passionately about why it deserves to be saved. Robert Guy worked alongside the two original Oasis architects. Their work inspired him to become an architect himself and he went on to design many leisure centres around the UK. He gave a talk to the Twentieth Century Society after it featured the Oasis in its top 10 buildings at risk list for 2021. The Save Oasis Swindon campaign has pushed for the North Star building to be listed. Mr Guy agrees with them, and explained what makes the facility so special.

It’s time for us to get on with living.
