Badbury Park is a single, coherent residential community that was developed across historic parish boundaries. As a result, the development is currently divided between two parish councils. This has led to inconsistency in representation, confusion over local responsibilities, and differences in parish precepts for residents living on the same estate.

We believe that the current parish boundary arrangements do not reflect the established community identity of Badbury Park and do not provide effective or convenient local governance for residents.

The purpose of this petition is to request that Swindon Borough Council reviews the existing parish boundaries affecting Badbury Park and considers options to:

• Place the entire Badbury Park development within a single parish council area; and/or
• Amend parish boundaries to better reflect the community identity and ensure fair, effective and consistent local governance.

We asking resident whether they wanted a referendum as part of this review and considers the most appropriate long-term governance arrangements for the Badbury Park community. 

To submit this proposal to SBC for a Community Governance Review, we will need 200 properties owners with your name and address. If both property owners support this proposal, then please submit 2 individual responses please.

Please support this petition.
