SKILLS TO LAST A LIFETIME
By Jamie Hill Editor's
Note
Sometimes in Swindon it's hard to see the wood for the trees. It's easy to get bogged down in the negative rather than seeing the positives.
But this month there's definitely some good news that needs to be highlighted.
We've had the opening of the Fleming Way bus interchange, and even its most ardent critics must admit it does look very good and is a massive positive change to the town centre landscape, which will hopefully lead to more inward investment.
And the other good news is about our economics. According to a new report Swindon is doing exceedingly well and the town is one of the top five economic powerhouses in the UK. Couple that with the news that thanks to the lobbying of North Swindon MP Will Stone, we can also announce that two new drone companies will be investing in the town, providing jobs and adding to our economy.
It definitely looks like Swindon is on the up.

New drone companies to set up in Swindon thanks to MP Will Stone
By Jamie Hill jamie@swindonlink.com
North Swindon MP Will Stone has announced that two more drone companies will be setting up in Swindon after successful discussions with investors.
TEKEVER the European leader in Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) announced that it has opened its third UK facility in a historic, Grade II listed, Swindon building.
The new factory is sited at the iconic Spectrum Building and is part of the company's drive to create 1,000 more jobs in drone production.
And FLYBY Technology, an agile and dynamic British company and a world leader in Vertical Take Off and Landing (VTOL) drones, has also announced its intention to set up in Swindon.
The companies are supported in this by Swindon North MP Will Stone who has encouraged the firms to enter the town in response to his Drone Cluster vision.
FLYBY’s new drone the JACKAL is highly capable for air, land and sea operations and was developed after initial trials with the RAF.
The aircraft has been developed to meet the changing needs of modern battlefields and is ideally suited to the emerging requirements described in the Strategic Defence Review.
FLYBY noted that Swindon’s
establishing drone cluster of excellence gives them greater access to expertise and knowledge that can improve projects like JACKAL and support the UK’s wider defensive capabilities.
Flyby CEO Jon Parker said: "The town is on a new trajectory and FLYBY wants to be a significant part of that. The drone industry and Swindon needed a champion in Parliament. Will is certainly putting both on the political map.
"He remembered and recognised the importance of FLYBY’s pioneering work on the NHS project, flying chemotherapy to the Isle of Wight. Will’s vision and energy is what our industry and our nation has been seeking."
Will Stone MP said: “The drone companies coming to Swindon are incredibly exciting. They have an expertise for advancing
cutting edge manufacturing and innovative ideas that will encourage Swindon and the other drone manufacturers coming to the town to flourish.
"This is yet another boost of confidence in not only Swindon, its people and industrial past, but my vision to develop a drone cluster in the town that bolsters our nation’s defence and provides high skilled jobs to the people of our town.”
Jim Robbins, Leader of Swindon Borough Council said: “Swindon is currently undergoing an industrial re-emergence and these companies' decisions to establish themselves in the town continues the council’s mission to create skilled jobs, encourage innovation, and position Swindon as a national leader in UAV manufacturing.
The council are proud that FLYBY and TEKEVER are joining in our missions to deliver these goals.”

News from SBC
First month of new Fleming Way hailed a success
The first month of the fully operational new Fleming Way bus interchange has been hailed a success by Swindon Borough Council.
Open to bus services on Sunday, 31 August, all Swindon buses now run from the dedicated site following a £33m improvement package.
The new road features a vastly improved public realm with 186 trees and more than 23,000 plants, bulbs and shrubs, and dedicated stops for 30 local bus services as well as national services.
There are also new, larger bus shelters with better wheelchair access, wireless chargers and real-time departure displays, new dedicated cycle lanes directly joining two of the town’s cycle routes and new public toilets with a Changing Places facility and accessible toilets.
Cllr Chris Watts, Swindon Borough Council’s Cabinet Member for the Environment and Transport, said: “It’s great

to see buses using the new interchange.
“The first month has gone very smoothly and that’s thanks to the work done by Swindon’s Bus Company and Stagecoach to make sure their drivers were ready to use the road and that the transition from the bus station was as seamless as possible.
“The new area is a big improvement over the old Fleming Way. Gone is the old dingy underpass, replaced with new and improved public realm spaces that help make the area a much nicer place to be in.
“And getting the bus has never been easier, with all routes now going from Fleming Way.”
Fleming Way was opened to pedestrians and cyclists on Saturday, 16 August and bus drivers had a two-week window to get used to the new road layout before bus services got underway at the end of the month.

council-run residential home to be
A proposal to develop a new councilowned children’s home to support local children in care has been supported by Swindon Borough Council’s Cabinet. Councillors recently heard how the council plans to invest £700,000 in order to buy and develop a property in Swindon to house local children who might otherwise be placed outside of the Borough.
As of July 2025, the council had 310 children in its care, with 42 per cent of those children living 20 miles outside of the borough, away from their friends, family, schools and social groups.
In a number of cases, young people who are placed away from these support networks find that once they return to their home, they have lost all connection with the area and therefore lack the skills

“As a driver, we can also be a lot more spatially aware of our surroundings compared to the cramped bus station.
“The old bus station wasn’t really user friendly and it was very old.”
Now that Fleming Way is fully operational, the old bus station will be demolished.
More than 30 local and regional bus routes are using the new facility. Barnes Coaches has its own dedicated bus stop on Princes Street, which has three car parks in close proximity making it easier for coach users to be dropped off and picked up.
The council will review if additional services can be accommodated on Fleming Way over the coming months.

Council invites residents to share feedback on Swindon’s draft Local Plan
Local people, community groups, developers and businesses are invited to shape Swindon’s future development by taking part in an ongoing consultation on the draft Local Plan.
The Local Plan is used to guide and assess development across the borough and is the council’s most important planning document as it helps the local authority to guard against speculative planning applications on land where it is not suitable. Through the 20 years of the plan, the council will encourage high-quality,
sustainable homes, better transport connections and a greener, more environmentally-friendly Swindon.
The Local Plan also demonstrates how the council plans to meet the Government’s housebuilding targets, which are set at 1,205 homes per year, or 24,100 homes by 2043.
The majority of these houses are already allocated at existing major housebuilding sites such as the New Eastern Villages and Wichelstowe, but sites for a further 7,000 homes will need to be allocated within the
Local Plan to ensure Swindon meets its growth targets.
The council is encouraging as many local people as possible to take part in this first round of consultation, which is live until 13 October 2025 with feedback provided either online or by attending a consultation event.
Full details, including how to attend one of the engagement sessions, can be found on the council’s website www.swindon.gov. uk/newlocalplan or by searching ‘Local Plan’.
Swindon maintains top-five economic powerhouse status
By Barrie Hudson barrie@swindonlink.com
Swindon has once again been ranked alongside the country’s top cities when it comes to key economic performance indicators.
The borough is ranked fifth in this year’s Demos-PwC Good Growth for Cities Index, outperforming Birmingham, Manchester, Cardiff and Glasgow, while also coming out ahead of near neighbours Oxford and Reading in the Thames Valley region.
The Index ranks 50 of the UK’s largest cities, excluding London, based on both the public’s assessment and the actual performance of 12 economic measures.
These measures include jobs, health, income, safety and skills, as well as work-life balance, housing, transport, income equality, high street and shops, environment and business start-ups.

Cllr Jim Robbins, Leader of Swindon Borough Council, said:
“I am delighted to see Swindon once again outperforming some

"This is why, as a pro-growth town we are focusing on house building, and improving our transport infrastructure and public realm.

Cllr Robbins added: “The combination of our high growth and high index score suggests Swindon is not just growing
“The positive showing in the index also highlights the council’s effectiveness in attracting inward investment, supporting high-value sectors like advanced manufacturing, financial services and tech, investing in infrastructure and regeneration and promoting inclusive economic growth.
“With Panattoni’s £900m investment in the former Honda site continuing at pace, the recent positive news of drone manufacturing firms setting up in the town and our major plans to breathe new life into the town centre through the Knowledge Central train station redevelopment, I have every confidence we will continue to maintain our lofty position in economic league tables in the years to come.”
Thousands turn out for this year's Swindon Shuffle
Thousands of music lovers turned out for the town’s biggest unsigned music festival, Swindon Shuffle, which took place in mid September over five nights.
Photos by George Hill (Insta @studioix._
- Website: studioix.co.uk)
The Swindon Shuffle took place from Wednesday 10 September to Sunday 14 September with 63 acts playing across six venues in Old Town.
The annual free entry festival, now in its 19th year, packed every venue for every session.
This year’s festival was especially poignant as the final act on the Sunday evening was a Tribute to Black Sheep Apprentice in honour of local musician Richard ‘Skiddy’ Skidmore who passed away from cancer earlier this year.
The festival is run in association with Swindon-based UKRI (UK Research and Innovation) and this year it was raising money for Prospect Hospice, who provide end of life care in Wroughton.
The six venues who hosted The Shuffle were The Castle, The Vic, The Hop Inn, The Pulpit, The Beehive and The Tuppenny.
As well as them a special music quiz night opened the festival on the Wednesday evening, a Community Ceilidh was held on the Saturday night at Eastcott Community Centre, and during the Saturday afternoon a Play Your Own Vinyl DJ Session was held at the Prospect Hospice Book and Music Shop on Victoria Road.
Headline acts included popular Swindon bands like Wild Isles, Modern Evils and SN Dubstation, but the festival also featured acts from further afield like PET NEEDS, True Strays and Truck.
Organiser Ed Dyer said: “After months of planning it was amazing to see every venue full to the brim with people just loving good music.
“This festival is all about bringing the Swindon community together and it also highlights the huge amount of musical talent that we have on our own doorstep.
“We still haven’t counted the exact money raised for Prospect Hospice but it definitely will be several thousand.
“This year’s event was especially poignant as we lost festival friend and one of Swindon’s most talented musicians Richard Skidmore earlier this year. At points during the tribute to his former band Black Sheep Apprentice which ended the festival, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house.
“We can’t thank our headline sponsor UKRI enough for their support, as well as the support of all the other sponsors.
“We would also like to thank the small army of volunteers who freely give their time to make the festival happen, from fundraising to stage management or even those who helped us move drumkits about.
“Next year it will be The Swindon Shuffle’s 20th anniversary and we’ve already got some big plans for that, as well as our winter arts festival Swinterfest which takes place from Thursday 29 January to Sunday 1 February.”
Prospect Hospice CEO Jeremy Lune said: “The 19th Swindon Shuffle was, no surprises, an absolutely brilliant celebration of our local music community in terms of the incredible talent, the joyful energy and the heart-warming support for Prospect Hospice.
“I am certain that pretty much everyone who played, sang or danced over the four days has known somebody who was cared for by my amazing colleagues, so I would like to thank them all for their generous donations and assure them that every penny they gave will be making a difference to the lives of others. We couldn’t do it without you, so Keep on Shuffling!”

Dozens attend first Swindon Your Party meeting
By Barrie Hudson barrie@swindonlink.com
About 70 people crowded Broadgreen Community Centre for the first meeting of the Swindon branch of Your Party.
Your Party is the new political party set up by former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and Coventry South Independent MP Zarah Sultana.
People who attended the Swindon meeting were divided into discussion groups which identified the most pressing issues for the party to address.
Among those present was Swindon Community Poet Tony Hillier, who drew cheers when he told the gathering: "Since moving to Swindon 35 years ago, I've worn a range of hats. Swindon is an inspirational and a caring town, but for far too long it has been ravaged by UK society's turmoil and injustices.
"The two-party hopscotch of first past the post, with its
attendant duplicities, has long since passed its sell-by date."
Many national and local issues were raised by the discussion groups.
National matters highlighted included more funding for education, improving provisions for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities, the fair distribution of wealth and preserving the NHS.
Local issues highlighted included the building of more social housing, better NHS dental provision, using brownfield sites for community housing and making the planning system more accessible.
A second meeting was organised shortly afterwards. Further information can be found by searching for 'Your Party Swindon' on Facebook.
East Wiltshire MP Danny Kruger defects to Reform UK
By Barrie Hudson barrie@swindonlink.com
An MP whose constituency includes parts of the Borough of Swindon has announced his defection from the Conservatives to Reform UK.
Danny Kruger's East Wiltshire constituency includes part of the Chiseldon and Lawn ward and the Wroughton and Wichelstowe and Ridgeway wards.
Having changed parties he plans to serve out his term.
In a statement published on social media, he said: "Today I announced that I am leaving the Conservative Party and joining Reform UK. I know this will come as a shock, and strike many as a betrayal of the Party that selected me as a candidate for Parliament and supported my election campaigns in 2019 and 2024.
"To those people I simply say: I am deeply sorry to be letting you down. I have
so many people in the local Conservative Party - people who have trudged the streets delivering leaflets, backed my work, donated financially - and the biggest argument against leaving the Party has been the pain of leaving and hurting them.
"But this is a business in which we have to put our personal loyalties, and certainly our institutional memberships, to one side and think what is in
the best interests of the country and our constituents."
The statement added that the country was in crisis, that it was the duty of all conservatives to unite behind the leader best able to win power and deliver necessary change, but that the "divided, discredited" Conservative Party could not do that.
Mr Kruger said he would serve out his term without a by-election.

Swindon domestic abuse charity marks 50 years with community challenge
A Swindon charity is marking the culmination of its 50th anniversary by challenging supporters to do ‘50 for 50’. Society Without Abuse (SWA), then known as Swindon Women’s Aid, opened the first refuge in Swindon on 25 August 1975.
At the time, the refuge was not just the only place for women to seek help from domestic abuse, but one of the first in the country. Since then, SWA has continued to lead the way in supporting victims and survivors, as well as implementing programmes to stop the behaviours at the root cause of domestic abuse.
The ’50 for 50’ fundraising drive enables supporters to choose their own challenge to raise much needed funds to continue developing and expanding the vital services that the charity offers.
“It’s a great way for people to get involved and do something to help victims of domestic abuse in a lasting way,” explained SWA Operations Manager Natasha Moyles.
“The challenge will be live for 50 days from the anniversary of the first refuge opening and so people have until 15 October to help us make a difference to the future of women, men and children across Swindon who are, or may one day be victims of domestic abuse."

History comes alive with Heritage Open Days
Heritage Open Days returned to Swindon with locations across the borough throwing open their doors to the public.
The series of events lift the lid on historical venues and locations across the borough, allowing residents and visitors to discover more about Swindon and its history.
Last month saw people visiting the Civic Offices to meet the Mayor of Swindon, Councillor Fay Howard, to learn more about the history of the council and the office of the Mayor of Swindon.
There was also a look behind the scenes at Lydiard Park's Walled Garden with Lydiard’s Heritage Apple Day event.
Some lucky attendees also got a tour behind the scenes of the refurbishment of the Health Hydro in Milton Road.
Other locations featured in the event included the Bakers Arms in the Railway Village, Pattern Church on Penzance Drive and the Friends Meeting
House on Eastcott Hill.
A number of talks and events also took place to showcase Swindon’s history and locations including the former canal, Railway Village life and the Battle of Ellendune in Wroughton.
Cllr Marina Strinkovsky, the council’s Cabinet Member for Placemaking and Planning, said: “Swindon has an incredible history and it’s great to see so many venues being part of this year’s Heritage Open Days.
“Sometimes the place where we live and the things that are
on our doorstep are the last ones we go out of our way to see, which is why it’s always surprising and often delightful to have a peek inside old buildings and hear the stories associated with them.
“With Heritage Open Days now finished, if you want to find out more then our fabulous museums do a great job telling the stories of Swindon and its people.”
The story of Swindon continues to be told at the STEAM Museum, Lydiard Park Museum and Museum & Art Swindon.
Swindon breakfast charity celebrates £150k funding
By Amanda Wilkins amanda@swindonlink.com
The future looks bright for Swindon charity Big Breakfast Plus, which has been awarded £150,000 of National Lottery funding.
The National Lottery Community Fund grant, which will be spread across three years, is a huge boost for the charity, which offers a cooked breakfast seven-days-a-week to homeless and hungry people in the town.
Based in the Pilgrim Centre in Regent Street and run by volunteers with just a handful of staff and a committed board of trustees, Big Breakfast Plus provides around 100 breakfasts a day, offering a warm, welcoming, safe environment for homeless and hungry people.
James Puttick, Chair of Trustees, said: “This is a fantastic level of funding, which will enable us to continue to offer freshly
cooked breakfasts to those who are hungry in Swindon, all provided in a warm and welcoming environment.”
James said the funding would also help support investment in the charity’s longer term strategy, as well as pay for day-to-day costs, like the food and equipment.
“In recent times, we have seen the need for our service grow due to rising food and energy costs. This funding will enable us to keep up with that demand, as well as expand on some of our wider initiatives, like our giveaway fruit bags,
and other nutritional projects.”
The National Lottery Community Fund recently launched its strategy, ‘It starts with community’, which will underpin its efforts to distribute at least £4 billion of National Lottery funding by 2030.
As part of this, the funder has four key missions, which are to support communities to come together, be environmentally sustainable, help children and young people thrive and enable people to live healthier lives.

Swindon leaping from success to success
A column by Swindon Borough Council Leader Cllr Jim Robbins
Swindon is on the rise—and it’s no accident. Under the leadership of the local Labour group, working hand-in-hand with our MPs Heidi Alexander and Will Stone, and in close collaboration with national government, the town is experiencing a wave of investment, regeneration, and recognition that’s putting us firmly on the map.
Just last month, Swindon was ranked fifth in the prestigious Demos-PwC Good Growth for Cities Index, outperforming major cities like Birmingham, Manchester, Cardiff and Glasgow.
This isn’t just about numbers - it’s about real progress in jobs, skills, health, transport and safety. It’s a reflection of Labour’s commitment to inclusive growth and smart
investment. By reversing the Conservative cut to our inward investment team at the Council, we have been able to really attract highvalue manufacturing back to Swindon. The team are working really well with the Government, businesses and investors like Panattoni to attract more advanced manufacturing.
One of the most exciting developments is TEKEVER’s decision to base its largest UK drone manufacturing facility in Swindon, choosing the iconic Spectrum Building as its home. This £400 million investment will create over 1,000 highly
skilled jobs and re-establish Swindon as a national leader in defence manufacturing. It’s a direct result of the Labourled council’s proactive strategy to attract high-tech industries and unlock opportunities for local talent. Tekever are clear that they want to offer apprenticeships to Swindon residents and ensure that the town really sees the impact of the investment.
It is the fourth drone company, alongside STARK, Munin and Flyby, that we have welcomed to the town in the last few months, and it was great to hear John Healey MP, the Defence Secretary, talk about Swindon becoming a national hub for drone technology. Behind the scenes, Labour councillors and Council officers have been working tirelessly to reduce the planning backlog, enabling faster development and smoother investment pathways. Their
efforts are paying off—not just in bricks and mortar, but in confidence from businesses and Government alike.
The recent Spending Review brought further good news: Swindon was named as a key beneficiary of the largest investment in social and affordable housing in over 50 years, and Penhill secured Trailblazer funding to empower local residents in shaping their community’s future.
These wins are the result of relentless lobbying, detailed policy work, and strong partnerships with Westminster. We’ll keep doing the hard work behind the scenes to really deliver for Swindon.
Swindon’s future is being shaped right now - by a Labour team that listens, leads, and delivers. Let’s not gamble with that progress.
Let’s keep building, keep investing, and keep moving forward together.
Seeing plans for Swindon's future come to fruition
A column by borough council
Conservative Group Leader
Cllr Gary Sumner
Councils play a pivotal role in regeneration by helping to drive investment in key infrastructure.
In 2020, we announced that Swindon Borough Council had received ‘a late Christmas present’ with the news it had been backed by the Conservative Government's Future High Streets Fund in its bid to create a 'bus boulevard'.
This stimulus to the regeneration of Swindon Town Centre saw £25m from the Government, £5m from Swindon Borough Council and £3m from the Local Enterprise Partnership’s Local Growth Fund taking the project fund to a whopping £33m.
Swindon received the full funding requested (and the largest amount received across
the country) in recognition of what it deemed our exceptionally forward-thinking and innovative proposals.
Whilst the Labour Group (in opposition at the time) publicly ridiculed the scheme, the Conservatives, including our two Conservative MPs who championed the scheme in Parliament, knew that this was what was needed to deliver long-term impacts that would act as a catalyst for driving growth in the town centre.
Although galling to see them now delighted about the scheme they dismissed, I
am pleased that they finally saw the benefits and have supported our vision, helping it to become a reality.
Early discussions told us that the improvements to Fleming Way were a key factor in Zurich's decision to build its new headquarters, Unity Place.
F1 Real Estate Management’s decision to spend millions refurbishing 1 Newbridge Square on the corner of Milford Street and Fleming Way has also been a significant boost to the town centre.
Both have contributed massively to the wider economy and by increasing land values and making Swindon an attractive proposition for investors, we hope there will be more interest shown by companies looking to move to or expand in Swindon.
This major uplift to our town has progressed alongside
the restoration of the Health Hydro, commenced in 2021, the establishment of the Swindon and Wiltshire Institute of Technology that opened in November 2022 to compliment the University Technical College and the huge range of enterprises that have moved into the regenerated Carriage Works since the opening of The Workshed in 2018.
Additionally, over £1bn was earmarked from the private sector for investment in the former Honda site following the announcement in 2019 that production would end.
At Symmetry Park, our strategic partner Panattoni built a new 2m sqft facility for Amazon to kick-start the redevelopment of this important location.
To have been there from the very start of all these projects makes me extremely proud of what we have achieved.
Interview: This year sees the 60th anniversary of Swindon Hospital Radio Society. Dave Woods, pictured left with Hospital Radio Swindon chairman Arthur Perkin, is Programme Editor at the station.
By Barrie Hudson barrie@swindonlink.com
Dave Woods was interviewed by Swindon Link as Hospital Radio Swindon prepared for an all-day requests marathon.
The session was to form part of the station's celebration of 60 years bringing enjoyment and comfort to hospital patients.
As the station noted in a recent edition of its magazine, at one time it "...broadcast to Princess Margaret and Victoria Hospitals in Swindon, the Stratton St Margaret Hospital and the Princess Alexandra RAF Hospital in Wroughton and the Savernake Hospital in Marlborough."
Today the station broadcasts to Great Western Hospital from its studio there, although anybody with an internet connection can listen by visiting www.hospitalradioswindon. org and following a simple link - and can also find out about the station's many volunteering opportunities.
Dave's fascination with radio began in childhood and has seen him work with stations familiar to generations of Swindon people - and receive plaudits including a prestigious award nomination which saw him invited to a grand ceremony in New York.
"I can remember being given - it must have been for Christmas or a birthday - an old radio," he said.
"I can remember listening to Radio Two and the news at night when I was very young. I've always had an interest in radio. Even when I was young I always wanted to read the news, and I've done that!"
In spite of his achievements, Dave describes radio as his hobby, and indeed has conducted much of his career while working full time in the hospitality industry and office
roles.
He is originally from the New Forest Town of Lymington.
"I grew up there. I left school at 16 and fell into the catering business, restaurants. I went to Bournemouth College as it was then - it's a university nowand did my City and Guilds in Catering."
Dave worked in various hotels on the South Coast before moving to Cardiff, where a friend was studying, and began working for a hotel chain there.
He remained in the hotel industry for about 20 years before switching to office work, including a stint training call handlers.
It was in Swindon in the late 1980s that he took his involvement in radio beyond a simple interest.
"I was working in one of the hotels, and over here on a short term contract.
"And basically I've never left Swindon!
"During that time I was looking for something to do.
I'd always been interested in radio, and it was Hospital Radio Swindon that I first volunteered to and had an
interest in.
"I was at the station for a good 10 years. I used to do a sports programme at the time, and through that I then volunteered at BBC Wiltshire Sound, as it was then.
"Through that, a full time job came up, and I was with the BBC for a number of years - a little bit of on-air but mainly production, helping to produce programmes.
"But things change with new technology and my job no longer existed!"
Following a break from radio, Dave started at community radio station Swindon 105.5, initially as a reporter and eventually as chief news reporter.
"You scratch the surface in Swindon and there's always a story. It's a great way of letting people know what's ticking in the town, and through doing that I've met some great people - people telling me the stories they want to share."
Dave's work has seen him cover everything from elections to the European Parliament, and a piece about the successful campaign some
years ago to keep Lydiard House out of private hands saw him nominated for an international award and invited to New York as a finalist.
"That was a lovely achievement to be recognised for. I can remember going to New York and accepting a finalist's plaque. That was something I would never otherwise have done, but 105.5 gave me that opportunity.
"I think that's what volunteering can give you.
Outside of your normal nine-tofive work, volunteering can give you so much more opportunity.
"I left 105 a few years ago just through work commitments, but things change and I realised I had more to give."
A local press article in which Hospital Radio Swindon was nominated by the then South Swindon MP Sir Robert Buckland as his charity of the week prompted Dave to offer his services.
"A call was going out. They were looking for volunteers, and I thought, 'Let's go back to where I started!' I had a chat with Arthur [Hospital Radio Swindon Chairman Arthur Perkin] and he said, 'Yes, come back on board.'
"Through my experience with radio they asked me to take over the on-air content and programming, which I gladly did."
For all that technology has provided us with ever more distractions, Dave is as convinced as ever that there is still a place for radio.
"It does connect communities. I think people often remember a song from when they were growing up, and heard it on the radio and can look back. It's a medium where people can remember where they were in all elements of their life, and I think that's a great thing radio can do."

Old Town to host first ‘Day of the Dead’ Festival this November
Sunday 2 November - 2pm to 7pm
Wood Street
Old Town Swindon will host its first Day of the Dead Festival on Sunday 2 November, bringing colour, music and international culture to Old Town.
A new community event, organised by the Old Town Business Association, will feature live performances, Latin American food, children’s workshops, a memory “altar”, and a street parade. A central part of the day will be a public ofrenda, a shared altar space, where residents can place photos and mementoes of loved ones as a respectful nod to the traditions of Día de los Muertos.
Visitors are encouraged to take part in the celebrations by bringing a photo of a loved one to add to the community ofrenda, dressing in smart clothes with traditional skull-
inspired face paint, and bringing a battery-powered candle to light up the streets as part of the evening parade.
Kris Talikowski, Chair of the Old Town Business Association, said: “This is a big moment for Swindon. We’ve always worked to create events that bring people together and give
Swindon something to be proud of. With Day of the Dead, we’re building on a festival that is world-renowned, but doing it in a way that respects its heritage and makes sense for our community. We think it will be a unique addition to Old Town’s cultural life.”
The Day of the Dead Festival
follows a successful summer programme of Sunday Socials and comes ahead of the Christmas Festival on 23 November, continuing Old Town’s reputation as one of Swindon’s main areas for public events.

The Fox and Hounds - passionate about what they do and it shows
Review by Jamie Hill jamie@swindonlink.com
There was a pub I knew once in the Swindon area.
I’m not going to name it as it’s not my job to criticise any establishment and affect their business as pubs have it hard as it is.
But this pub was wonderful. For years it managed to strike that perfect balance between keeping its regulars happy and bringing in new business through its much-talked about food trade.
One of the things that made this pub special was the attention to detail and the TLC given to it by the landlord. It made it a home from home for a lot of people.
And then it changed hands. What followed was a systemic dismantling of all that made the pub good in the first place. Food took a backseat apart from a Sunday roast. The lovely hanging baskets withered and died. And the cleanliness of the pub was replaced with sticky floors and a Godawful stench coming from the toilet.
Essentially the love and passion had gone from the place.
And the last I heard the new people who had taken it over were losing money and were talking about walking away altogether.
And that brings me to the Fox and Hounds. A pub on the outskirts of Wroughton.
To my delight this was a pub with heart. And by all accounts is doing exceedingly well because of that heart. Just by pulling up outside of its main entrance, I was
immediately struck by its glorious array of hanging baskets.
The huge and varied garden is fantastic and well looked after with flower beds and trees aplenty. You can immediately tell that a lot of hard work has gone into making this garden a wonderful place to visit. Peaceful and tranquil with even a koi carp pond to boot.
The inside of the pub is equally as immaculate.
Decorated with passion and love and if you looked up the word ‘cosy’ in the dictionary they’ve probably got a picture of the bar area right next to the word.
It’s that great a place which came as a surprise to me as I’ve got to admit I’m not easily impressed by pubs. In my old age I’ve grown more and more cynical about the area’s drinkeries especially in the days of chain pubs and the dreaded ‘Spoons’. And I was definitely coloured impressed by this Arkells establishment.
There is a lot of love that has gone into this pub and it shows.
To keep up this theme of a ‘love-in’ about the Fox and Hounds, the staff matched the decor in that they were friendly and made you instantly feel at home.
And that’s before I’ve even got to the food.
It’s a simple menu, which is always a good sign. With all the normal pub staples you’d expect including fish and chips and burgers, but I’m pleased to say that everything was cooked to the highest standard.
My only slight criticism would be that the food did take slightly too long to come after
FOOD & DRINK
being ordered.
But that is a very minor criticism and it was definitely worth the wait and showed that the dishes were cooked properly from scratch.
The fish and chips were especially well done. Perfectly cooked with excellent batter and the chunky chips done to the most glorious consistency of crisp on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
The burger was also a definite highlight with a juicy, perfectly-cooked patty and fantastic home-made fries on the side.
Like everything else in this pub. You could tell that the love and passion that is everywhere to see definitely extends to the kitchen.
All in all, The Fox and Hounds is definitely and establishment I would recommend one and all to visit. You won’t be disappointed and you’ll be able to feel the love for yourself.

FREE Inclusive Cycling Taster Sessions for SEND Schools and
Community Groups
At Moredon Sporting Hub we aim to provide opportunities for everyone to enjoy cycling.
For some people this is having the support from a friendly and knowledgeable coach to help them learn to ride a bike, sometimes it’s having the traffic-free enclosed track to make it safe, and sometimes it’s having the right bike or equipment.
We’ve been running a wide range of inclusive cycling sessions since we opened in July 2024.
Since then, we’ve helped teach over 1000 children and 80 adults to ride a bicycle and we help over 100 disabled people per week enjoy inclusive cycling.
This autumn we are offering FREE inclusive cycling taster sessions for groups of adults or young people with disabilities.
Alfie Howlett: Swindon Town FC writer
The ugly early season duckling has become a swan.
Swindon are sailing at the top of League Two. Elegant football, a settled eleven, and a strong squad, it’s all coming together.
Just over a month ago I felt as if Swindon were some distance from the summit of League Two.
But now as we begin to turn into the first bend of the season, Swindon are amongst the leading pack competing to breast the tape come May.
My word is it enjoyable, especially in stark contrast to lingering at the foot of the table just over a year ago. Surely not even a genie could’ve foreseen Town topping the scoring charts following an injury to the talismanic Harry Smith.
In fact, the rampant Robins have scored three-plus goals in four consecutive games for the
This could be a local school group or community group. We have a fleet of over 30 adapted cycles, suitable for children from aged five right up to adults.
These include recumbent trikes, handcycles, tandems, upright trikes and even a

STFC: Top End of Town LINK FOOTBALL
first time since 1991.
It’s incredible how quickly Town have transformed, it’s like they’ve flicked a switch.
There’s no better embodiment than Aaron Drinan.
The attacker has been the brightest star of many which have lit up The County Ground this season.
Drinan has been a Swindon player since February 2024, but it’s fair to say that we’ve never seen him in his current vein of form.
The stats don’t lie, Drinan already has more goals this season than in any other Town campaign.
Watching Drinan is a joy as he glides and then drives at defences, ensuring that we’re left on the edge of our seats. He and the rest of the team are certainly benefitting from a changed system.
In the absence of Harry
Smith, Swindon have seamlessly adapted into a flourishing one-touch transition team.
Supported by direct ball carriers in the likes of Snowdon, Munroe, Glatzel, and of course Drinan, Town are taking the game to the opposition as they slice quickly through the phases.
It’s exactly the brand of football which we were yearning for.
Drinan has formed a perfect partnership with Glatzel, who’s enjoying a similar resurgence, and it’s a testament to them that they’re keeping Ollie Palmer out of the team.
Palmer came to SN1 with pedigree, having fired Wrexham up the pyramid.
It seemed that he was tailor made to replace Harry Smith. The time will come, but for now it’s a case of if it isn’t broken then there’s no need to fix it.
To have such a settled eleven and a stellar squad is truly special. The likes of Palmer, Bodin, and Ehibhatiomhan would start for the majority of League Two sides, yet Ian Holloway gets to unleash them from the bench.
This summer’s recruitment has been sensational. It has been the best transfer window since Town last conquered the league in 2019/20.
October appears kind on paper, with Notts County at home potentially providing the sternest test.
When you’re winning, every game feels winnable. Town’s mentality has shifted.
At the start of the season, I saw the division as wide open, waiting for a challenger to present themselves.
Swindon have stepped forward, and now they’d like to stride away.
