An extra £1.5m for Swindon is welcomed but the local council says more is needed.

Swindon Borough Council is weighing up whether it should join other councils in a combined authority.

Organisers say the start of a new year is a good time to get into more healthy habits.

The new homes could form part of one of the largest greenfield developments in the country.

The authority says work timeframes are subject to "weather and unforeseen circumstances".

The formal plans for the refurbishment of the Oasis Leisure Centre in Swindon are published.

In the past year demand for services has risen at a greater rate in Swindon than the national average.

Local authorities are trying to help rough sleepers off the street as temperatures dip.
