LOCAL ELECTIONS
Clockwise from top left: Andrew Day (Green), Vijay Manro (Conservative), Michael Heal (Lib Dem), Tara Hurst (Independent) and Keir Baynham (Labour) are standing on May 6 Both Blunsdon and Highworth are feeling the effects of development and expansion – and many living in the area are fearing more. Developers have been very active in this ward – attracted by good links into Swindon. This is particularly true of Blunsdon, where several parcels of land just to the north of the main route into town via the Coldharbour junction have had applications for housing development lodged or approved. Further away in Highworth, housebuilders are also keen to add developments to greenfield sites.
