Welcome to The Link Magazine's second guide to West Swindon. Finding the right telephone number when you need it can be time wasting and frustrating. In WEST you will find the numbers and addresses of the important people and places in West Swindon. If you want to complain about something you'll find the photo, address and number of your MP and councillors on page 5. You want to tell your school that your child is ill, look for the number on page 8. Perhaps you need to get to a pharmacy fast - they're on page 6. Who can baptize your
No more hunting through the handbag for a lost number, no more scrabbling around one of the weighty directories you so regularly get through your door. WEST is what you need for local information and local help. Also included are the telephone numbers and locations of all the commercial services based in the area. Of course, residents will have to go further afield for some services and on page 3 we've included an index of the advertisers in WEST - from Accounting Services to Water Softeners, Bouncy Castles to Solicitors. Keep WEST by the phone for easy and quick reference at those crucial moments when you need information fast. And of course we haven't left out the local news and views The Link magazine is so well regarded for. This month, you'll find it on pages 13 to 23. What's not in WEST We're the first to admit that WEST is not comprehensive!
There are at least 150 community groups of all kinds in the West Swindon and hundreds more across Swindon. You won't find them here because there are so many and their contact people keep changing. However there's an easy way of finding out this kind of information. The Resource Room in the Community Suite at the Link Centre contains an Information Bank' where details of local community groups are kept as well as information on community and voluntary organisations in the town as a whole. The Library also holds a wide range of information, whilst The Volunteer Bureau at Thamesdown Voluntary Services Centre provides the opportunity to find out about voluntary work in the town (see page 27). We hope we have brought to you a complete and easy to read guide essential to anybody living in or visiting West Swindon. Every effort has been made to ensure that the details in
WEST are correct as at 1 June 1992. For future editions, we would be pleased to receive comments and suggestions on how WEST can be improved as the best way of finding the information you need.
