🌳 Update on Caterpillar Activity at Lyddon Way 🐛

You may have noticed web-like coverings and leaf damage on two trees at Lyddon Way. This is caused by ermine moth caterpillars – and while it may look unusual, it’s completely harmless to people, pets, and the environment.

This is a natural and temporary process, and the trees are expected to recover fully once the caterpillars have completed this stage of their lifecycle. 🌱

Our Parks & Open Spaces Team has been closely monitoring the situation and adjusting maintenance schedules to support local biodiversity. As part of this, grass cutting around the affected trees will be paused temporarily.

🙏 We kindly ask residents to leave the nests undisturbed and help support this important seasonal wildlife activity.

Cllr Leigh Jackson, Chair of the Parks & Open Spaces Committee, said:
"While the webbing may look unusual, it’s a great example of biodiversity in action, and we’re pleased to support this natural process while continuing to care for our public spaces."

Thank you for your understanding and support 💚

🚌🌳 Councillor Induction 2026–2030 got off to a great start with a Parks & Open Spaces bus tour around the Parish!

Members of the Parks & Open Spaces Committee visited several key sites, including our Leisure Garden Sites & Goodearl Dog Park, Trent Road Play Area, Seven Fields, King George V Play Area and Thyme Close Play Area.

The tour was a fantastic opportunity to get to know each other, share ideas, and see first-hand the spaces that regularly feature in projects, events, and committee discussions. 👥💡

It wasn't all sightseeing either! Councillors were busy spotting and reporting issues along the way, from fallen trees to ground rutting and other maintenance concerns, helping to keep our parks and open spaces safe, welcoming, and enjoyable for everyone. 🌿🐕⚽

We're looking forward to working together to make the most of these valued community spaces over the next four years.

👕 Lost Property – School Jumper

Has your little one come home missing their school jumper? 🏫

During one of the regular rounds across the parish, our Parks & Open Spaces Team has found a St Francis school jumper, size 9-10 years — and we'd love to get it back to its rightful owner. 🙌

We would also like to remind residents that we hold a number of other items in our lost property, including:

📱 a phone
👜 a school bag

and various other items of clothing, which have been featured in previous lost property posts but remain unclaimed to date.

If you or someone you know has lost anything recently, it is always worth getting in touch to check whether we may have it here at the Parish Council Offices.

What a wonderful morning at The Haydon Wick Haven today. 🌟

We were joined by Nikki from Swindon Borough Council's Live Well Hub 🏛️, and she came armed with a bundle of brilliant information. 📚✨

Nikki talked with everyone about the fantastic support Live Well has to offer — from 🏃 health coaching, 💪 exercise for all abilities, and 💰 financial guidance, to 🤝 companionship visits in your own home.

The group found it genuinely useful, and there was no shortage of great questions and lively conversation. 🙋 💬 It's amazing to see just how many local services are out there to help people feel healthier, more supported, and more connected. ❤️

A huge thank you to Nikki for popping in — we absolutely love welcoming guests who bring such positive energy and practical help to our community. 🙏💛

🌳 Parks & Open Spaces Update 🌳

🌸 Seasonal Planting
We're thrilled to announce an exciting new collaboration. This season, all of our troughs, pots, and hanging baskets have been beautifully replenished — and for the very first time, we've partnered with a fantastic local small business, Mo's Plants.

Not only have they grown all of the bedding plants from seed themselves, but they've also taken care of the planting and supplied the compost too — a complete, homegrown package. 🌱 Supporting local and keeping our community blooming — what's not to love? We're looking forward to growing this partnership moving forward 🤝

☀️ Beating the Heat
Despite the recent scorching temperatures, our incredible team has pushed through and completed every single scheduled task without exception. Their dedication and resilience, especially in tough conditions, truly speaks volumes — a huge well done to each and every one of them. 👏🏼

🛝 Parks & Projects
The team has been hard at work pressure washing the surface in Galloway Play Area, giving it a fresh, clean look and a much-improved appearance. And that's just the beginning — they'll be working their way through all 24 of our play areas across the parish.💪

🌿☀️ What a perfect evening! With the sun shining, we took our Craft & Connect group outside to our beautiful sensory space at Goodearl Leisure Gardens — and it was magical.

We spent almost two hours sketching en plein air, chatting, and soaking up the sounds of the evening birdsong. Pencils, pens and pastels created stunning results! 🎨✏️

A truly wholesome, mindful experience for our creative community — and one we'll absolutely be doing again. 🌸

We still have a few spaces available if you’d love to join us for our next session on 11th June 2026. For more information, contact us on 01793 722446 or email [email protected]

5 Public Bins Set on Fire Across Haydon Wick

In the early hours of Monday morning, 5 public bins across Haydon Wick Parish were deliberately set on fire in what appears to be targeted vandalism.

Locations affected:

• Shepperton Way
• Capesthorne Drive
• Capesthorne / White Eagle
• Havisham Drive
• Mazurek Way

Thankfully the bins remain usable, but the internal liners have been damaged.

Replacement liners, installation, and staff time are estimated at around £500. That is public money which could otherwise fund community events, play equipment repairs, or other local improvements.

If anyone has CCTV footage, information, or witnessed suspicious activity, please report it to Wiltshire Police.

🌟 A Powerful and Positive Morning at the Companion Café. 🌟

🙌 We had the absolute pleasure of welcoming Swindon Borough Council's Director of Adult Social Care for an open, honest, and truly meaningful session with our companions.

💬 Big questions were asked. Real conversations were had. And every single voice in that room was heard and taken seriously. The Director shared how incredibly valuable it was to listen directly to those caring for loved ones living with dementia — and she'll be taking those insights back to help shape real improvements for our community. 💪

Alongside these powerful conversations, Right at Home Swindon brought plenty of joy to the morning from 👑 crown-making, games, laughter, creativity — the room was absolutely buzzing. 🎉

This is what the Companion Café is all about:
✨ Being heard
💛 Being supported
😄 And sharing moments of pure joy together

Thank you to every single person who joined us today. Your courage, honesty, and wonderful energy make this space something truly special. 🥰
