Governance

The first tier of local government is St Andrews Parish Council.[2] For elections to Swindon Borough Council, the parish is covered by the St Andrews ward which elects three councillors.[3] For Westminster elections, the parish is part of the Swindon North constituency.[4]

The parish was formed on 1 April 2017, when the parish of Blunsdon St Andrew was divided in two along the line of the A419 road: the west half became the new parish of St Andrews, and the east half was renamed Blunsdon.[5] [6] At the same time, the boundary with Haydon Wick in the southwest of St Andrews parish was adjusted.[7]
