We all love our green spaces in Wroughton and Wichelstowe 🌳

Which is why it's so important to ensure we keep them free of dog mess.

If you're out walking your dogs on our beautiful open spaces, please ensure you pick up after your pooch and help us be a Poo Free Parish 🦮🐕

Next Wednesday (2 Sept), we have a Planning and Highways Committee meeting in the diary.

This committee examines planning applications and reviews highways issues that occur in the parish.

On the agenda next week is:
🚧 The planned closure of Bakers Road and Overtown Lane
⚽️ Habitat management plans for the Wichelstowe Sports Hub
🚗 Speeding in the parish
🏠 An update on the Neighbourhood Plan survey
..and plenty more.

The meeting will take place at 7.30pm at the Ellendune, and you're all welcome to attend if you wish.

As you’ll probably have seen, Marlborough Road has now fully reopened in both directions – great news 👍

Wales & West Utilities will need to pop back to finish the surfacing at some point over the next couple of weeks, but we’re told that the road will not need to be closed for this.

Now Marlborough Road is open again, W&W will be moving to the next stage of the works.

This will be:
📍 Swindon Road (between Berkeley Road and Perrys Lane)
📅 1 September to 13 September

After that, they'll be at:
📍 Moormead Road (roughly from the Prospect to the Co-op roundabout)
📅 14 September to 4 October

Temporary traffic lights will be in place on these last two sections.

If you have any questions, email Swindon Borough Council on [email protected]

Thanks, everybody 👍

Just a couple of things to let you all know about this afternoon.

Tomorrow morning, the grassy mound on Priors Hill (at the Bakers Road junction) is being strimmed by our grounds team. If you usually park in that area, please ensure you leave us enough space to work.

And we've had some damage reported to the climbing net at the Maunsell Way play area, so we've taken it down for now. Some new netting will be installed shortly.

Thanks, everyone 👍

📆 Date for your diaries 📆

On Monday 21 September, we're hosting two of our parish council meetings at The Deanery C of E Academy.

They are:
✅ Finance and General Purposes at 6.45pm
✅ Full Council at 7.30pm

Full Council will immediately follow the finance meeting.

You are all, as local residents, entitled to attend both meetings and speak if you wish. Agendas will be published nearer the time.

We're hoping that a change of venue will help bring the two areas of the parish together.
