About

Chippenham South & East covers the southern and eastern side of Chippenham town in north Wiltshire, stretching from the town centre out towards the A350 bypass. The ward contains mainly residential streets, local shops and community facilities, with green corridors that follow the River Avon and linked footpaths used by walkers and cyclists. The Great Western Main Line crosses the area, so rail is a visible part of the local landscape and shapes the pattern of streets and commuter flows.

Local economy combines small retail parades, service firms and a compact light industrial estate on the town’s edge. Road links give direct access to the M4 and nearby centres, and buses run along the main routes through the ward. Community allotments, a council-maintained park and a parade of independent shops on one of the south-eastern arterial roads are focal points for residents, while housing ranges from post-war terraces to more recent estates built on former market gardens.
