Western Community Centre renamed in honour of councillor Des Moffatt

A POPULAR councillor has had a community centre named in his honour after years of service to the town. The Western Community Centre in Somerset Street, Rodbourne Cheney, has been renamed the Des Moffatt Western Community Centre by Central Swindon North Parish Council. It recognises the work of the long-serving Swindon borough ward councillor for the area, who was also chairman of the parish committee and died in late 2019. Chairman of the parish council’s finance and general purpose committee Kevin Small is a fellow Labour borough councillor. He said: “Des was very closely associated with the Western Community Centre. He was a keyholder and he worked a lot with the management committee and did a lot to help out when it was short-staffed.

Rodbourne Pharmacy saved from closure after hundreds of people protest plan

CONTROVERSIAL plans to close a Rodbourne pharmacy to merge its services with a further away branch have been refused. Hundreds of people signed a petition started by ward councillors which protested against a proposal to shut the 167 Rodbourne Road branch of Rowlands Pharmacy and direct customers to another one near GWR Park which would then have extended opening hours. Rowlands argued that the change would not create a gap in available services but many people disagreed - and now Primary Care Support England has sided with the citizens. Neighbours feared the lack of parking or close bus stops near the Park Lane pharmacy as well as the 788-metre-longer walk along a narrow and busy footpath under the railway bridge to reach the other branch made it far less accessible to elderly or less mobile customers.
