The ward of Lydiard & Freshbrook in the South Swindon parliamentary constituency is represented by Conservative Councillors Caryl Sydney-Smith, Matty Courtliff and Timothy Swinyard.
The BBC Blue Planet programme did a great job in raising awareness of how plastics and litter affect wildlife and our oceans. 3 years ago the Conservatives led a Council debate for action on single use plastics. Swindon Council has now reduced single use plastics by 90%!
