The Broad Street Area Community Council has been representing the residents of the Broadgreen area for over 35 years. In this time the area has seen many changes, and in recent years the biggest change has been the influx of people from all over the globe, making this area the most ethnically diverse area in Swindon and indeed probably Wiltshire. The community council is your local residents association and despite the many changes, remains the one body striving for improvements in this area for everyone. All people living in Broadgreen are automatically members and are welcome to come to our monthly meetings and bring their problems and concerns to the table, so we can continue improving the quality of life for all.
We have re-launched our Broadgreen Community Archive project and are pursuing funding from the lottery. We are looking for a wide participation in this project, encompassing both young and old, male and female and across the spectrum of cultures, in a bid to conserve and enhance our diverse heritage and leave a lasting history for future generations.
You may have noticed that the old fence around the Broadgreen Centre has been removed and is being replaced by shorter looped top fencing, this is part of the final stage of the Streets For Living project and will also include replacement goal posts and a community garden at the Centre.
Please note our monthly residents meetings are now on the first Wednesday of every month, instead of the second Wednesday. They will still be held in the lounge at the Broadgreen Centre, 7.30 pm start and all residents in the Broadgreen area are invited and encouraged to attend.
Residents who cannot attend the main meeting or would rather speak privately to a Community Council representative will now have the chance to do so as we will be available between 6.00 pm and 7.30 pm, before our monthly meetings.
