Labour in Badbury Park, Eldene & Liden

06/05/2026

The only way to stop Reform in BPEL is to vote Labour. We have spoken to 100s of residents in the last few weeks and the overwhelming message is that Reform are not welcome here. As a bonus, you would get some excellent hardworking councillors too!

The team got a nasty surprise when out campaigning in Liden this week to see this hanging from a window - apparent support for Reform UK partnered with a sw****ka.

The sw****ka has come to be a symbol of hatred and violence. Using it like this risks causing real fear and distress in our community.

Whatever our political views, this kind of imagery crosses a line. It damages community cohesion and shuts down respectful debate.

Those responsible should remove it immediately and Reform UK need to condemn it. And make sure campaigning stays respectful, safe, and inclusive for everyone.

So glad the rain has held off this week, touch wood!

50 hours or so until the polls close! Great support from Badbury Park residents, thanks all.

A clear choice.

Three messages for Badbury Park, Eldene & Liden. Please find out all you can about the local situation, which will back these up.
1) We have the best set of candidates. Marianne, Rebecca and I are hard working and professional.
2) The Labour administration under Jim Robbins is turning Swindon round after 20 years of Tory decline.
3) Reform will bring chaos and division, especially in this area where the candidates have had national press attention.

I believe it is a clear choice, and will continue to make those arguments on the doors for the next 8 days. Please vote Labour on May 7th.

Satisfying piece of casework for the team - sorting the lights in WEM by Arnfield. Always more difficult when Facebook groups are controlled by local Conservatives, which is why contacting your elected Borough Councillors for the area is really important. We've regularly heard of people saying they will "follow up" on things when they don't actually have any capability to do so. If re-elected we will continue to proactively sort things for residents!

Picking up on things that need improving in the ward is a key part of the councillor job. Keeping going with it even when campaigning!
