As many residents of Chiseldon will be aware, Swindon Borough Council operates a Gypsy and Traveller site on the periphery of the village. The site is used as a temporary facility for travellers moving through the area so is only open in exceptional circumstances.

At the time of writing the site is occupied by a small group of travellers who have a licence to occupy until the end of November and are being supervised by Council Officers.

The Officer dealing with the site is Michael Ash and, in the event of any problems, he can be contacted at: MAsh@swindon.gov.uk
