About Swindon 24
Swindon 24 is an independent local news platform focused on Swindon and the people, businesses, and decisions shaping its future.
We cover what’s happening across the town, from major investment and political decisions to community stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on
* Local business stories and economic growth
* Swindon Borough Council and local politics
* Regeneration, housing, and development
* Community stories and local people
* Major announcements affecting the town
Some stories are big and strategic. Others are small but meaningful. Both matter to us.
We do not report on crime (there’s more than enough people reporting that.)
Our approach
We’re not here to push an agenda, drive clickbait traffic or focus on bad news.
Swindon 24 aims to be fair, balanced, and straightforward. That means asking questions we need to ask and going deeper into the stories to talk to the people behind the stories.

Why we exist
There’s a gap in how towns like Swindon are covered in the press. Too often, the narrative is either overly negative or completely disconnected from what’s actually happening on the ground. Also there is far too much crime news, just for clicks.
At the same time, there’s real change happening here, new industries, new investment, and new opportunities.
Swindon 24 exists to reflect Swindon’s opportunity.
