About The Swindon Post

The Swindon Post is your independent guide to life in Swindon. We cover events, local information, things to do, and practical advice for residents and visitors.

What we are

The Swindon Post is a local community website. We are not a walk-in business – we operate online to serve Swindon and the surrounding areas. Our mission is to bring together everything you need: what's on, where to go, and how things work locally.

Who runs it

The Swindon Post is run by The Swindon Post team. We are a local-focused brand dedicated to helping people discover and navigate life in Swindon. We research, write, and maintain our content with care.

The community we serve

We serve Swindon and surrounding areas in Wiltshire – residents, newcomers, and visitors alike. Whether you live here, are thinking of moving, or are planning a visit, we aim to give you the information you need in one place.

What we do

We help you discover what's on in Swindon, from family events and seasonal guides to concerts and community activities. We also provide detailed local information: cost of living, schools, transport, council rules, parking, bins and recycling, and much more. Our articles are written with you in mind, using clear language and up-to-date sources.

How we work

We research from official sources: Swindon Borough Council, NHS, GOV.UK, ONS, and venue websites. We date our articles and keep them updated. We link to the relevant organisations so you can verify details or take action directly.

Editorial standards

We aim for accuracy and clarity. Our guides cite official sources wherever possible – council websites, GOV.UK, NHS, Ofsted, ONS – and we add a References section to articles that make factual claims. We review key guides at least twice a year, and we update dates when we make substantive changes.

Sources we trust

We rely on: Swindon Borough Council for local rules, bins, schools, and housing; GOV.UK for benefits, tax, and national rules; NHS for health services; ONS and Land Registry for house prices and statistics; Ofsted for school ratings; and Ofgem for energy. Venue and business details come from official sites and last visits.
