A dad fears a temporary crossing on Ermin Street is an accident waiting to happen after his seven-year-old daughter was nearly hit by a passing car. Chris Screen, 50, who lives in Griffiths Close, raised his concern with Wales and West Utilities after the incident four weeks ago. He said: “My wife and a friend were walking with their children when they stopped at that crossing. They pressed the button, the green man for crossing showed and my daughter stepped out into the road and a car nearly knocked her over. “I raised the concerns because my daughter was nearly hit there as she was told to cross.

Stagecoach West bus service have announced that they will be making changes to their services in Swindon from August 9. Service S6 is on diversion for the next few weeks due to roadworks at White Hart Roundabout in Swindon. From Oxford and Faringdon into Swindon, the service will run via the A419 and Queens Drive, not Greenbridge. Leaving Swindon the buses will run as far as Oxford Road/Ermin Street as normal, before a diversion through Stratton to the Highworth/Honda junction of the A419. All buses will call at Stratton Park as normal, but customers can expect journey times up to 10 minutes longer than usual for the duration of the closure.
