Haydon Wick Parish Council was saddened to hear of the tragic events in Haydon End near to Mazurek Way. Our thoughts are with the victim’s family and friends at this awful time.

The Parish Councillors, Swindon Borough Ward Councillors and MP are being kept informed of developments. The Parish Council will continue to support Wiltshire Police in their investigation and with community leaders, local organisations, and residents in an effort to reduce crime and antisocial behaviour in Haydon Wick.

In the meantime residents can expect to see an increase in overt patrols across the Parish for the foreseeable future.

Please be advised that as an essential part of the investigation the Police had to cut some hedges to help locate evidence which may support the investigation. In the coming weeks the Parish Council will look at options, in consultation with local residents, on any reinstatements.

If you have any information that can help with the Police enquiries, please contact 101 quoting ‘Operation Glendale’

The lead up to Christmas can be a hard time for many people. Studies have shown that by not talking about how you are feeling can have a hugely negative impact on your mental health.

Haydon Wick Parish Council is offering a Warm Space drop in, every Monday and Friday from 11.00am – 1.00pm until Friday 31^st March 2023. Our large meeting room is open to come in from the cold weather, grab some warm refreshments more importantly, have a chat.

On Saturday 17^th December our Christmas Parcels will be making their way to many of our residents who are over 70 years of age and who live alone. This scheme provides not only essential food products but a moment of important interaction for some residents who may not see anyone else over the festive period.
