Council leader David Renard is unlikely to bid for city status for Swindon
Swindon is not likely to be one of the next towns granted city status by the Queen to mark her Platinum Jubilee next year. A competition has been launched by the government with the prize being the creation of the first new cities in the UK for a decade. The last towns to be converted to cities by the granting of a royal charter were Chelmsford, Perth and St Asaph in 2012 to mark Her Majesty’s Diamond Jubilee. But although Swindon is one of the biggest towns in the country – and bigger than many cities like Bath and Oxford and Gloucester – it is unlikely the borough council under the current Conservative administration will try and win the accolade.

“When you see a baby hummingbird that you’ve been caring for fly for the first time, it’s amazing,” says Jody Giddings when I spoke to her recently about her 10 years of experience as a wildlife rehabilitator. Jody is the founder of Sunday River Wildlife that opened this past December in Newry. Sunday River Wildlife’s mission it to help native Maine wildlife including baby chipmunks, turtles, weasels, and even bats. Birds, including tiny hummingbirds (photo by Jody Giddings), are a specialty. “At first, they don’t know what they are doing, but when a hummingbird zips up and hovers for the first time, I swear they get a look on their little faces that says, ‘Wow, look what I can do’.” Jody says, when that happens, she knows these little acrobats will soon be ready to be released into the wild.
