St Andrews is a civil parish in the borough of Swindon, Wiltshire, England. In 2021 it had a population of 19,096.[1]

Governance

[edit]

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]
