Draft Swindon Borough Local Plan
Residents of Swindon were asked to respond to the draft local plan by 6pm on the 21st of February. It will be interesting to know what the responses focused on and how the Council responds. There were over 700 responses to the Local Plan. Feedback from the Council due on the 28th of March.
The Local Plan 2026 is available here:

Tree Planting
We were involved in tree and shrub planting on the Evelyn Street embankment.
This happened over 2 days, the 16th/17th of November. On the 16th, pupils from Croft School, their parents, teachers, local residents and Swindon Rangers started the tree planting process which was completed the following Saturday morning.
It was a great success, thanks go to Adrian Downing who organised everything , the Woodland Trust who donated 60 trees, Councillor Nadine Watts and Martin Hambidge of SBC.
