RESIDENTS living in one of Swindon's most prominent landmarks, the David Murray John Tower, say they are being neglected.

Since the Brunel Centre was sold by Swindon Council in 1999, they say the 30-year-old town centre skyscraper, still owned by the council, has been isolated and forgotten.

There have been problems with drunks and drug users in the building.

Residents say the windows have not been cleaned for three years and that security at the building has been significantly reduced.

Bob Barrett, who lives on the 19th floor, said: "All the services we used to get for our £356 a month rent have gone."

Swindon Council has now said it plans to work with residents to solve the problem.
