What people say
Why locals and businesses use The Swindon Post.
I use The Swindon Post to find what's on at the weekend. The events listings are really useful.
We listed our community event and had a great turnout. Easy to submit and it was on the site within a few days.
The local information articles are so helpful – bins, parking, GP registration. Everything in one place.
