Recently we have been taking a lead in the village to assist villagers when they have asked for help in phrasing their responses to the various development plans being promoted by Swindon and Wiltshire County Council, and the North Wiltshire District Council.

We are continuing to monitor each stage of the development plans as they become public.

Some documents accessible from this page may be available for download in Microsoft Word, Powerpoint or PDF format. Please see our Software Downloads page for links to free viewer software for these types of files.

Parish Plan

A parish plan is long overdue and would help steer future development not only in a sensitive way but also in a way that benefits the village.  If you would like to get involved in this project please contact us.  For those who would like to know more on what is involved in a parish plan, please follow the following links:

We meet about once a month to discuss ongoing activities.  These meetings last about one hour and take place at members' homes.  If you would like to come along to see what happens, you would be very welcome please contact us to find out the time time and location of the next meeting.
