About

Covingham is a residential area to the east of Swindon town centre, developed during the town’s expansion in the mid‑20th century. The neighbourhood is organised around short streets and cul‑de‑sacs with a mix of housing types, local shops and a primary school. Community facilities include Covingham Community Centre and a parish council office; nearby green space provides pitches and a children’s play area. Everyday services are clustered so residents can reach shops and the community hub on foot.

Public transport links connect Covingham with Swindon’s bus network, and there are walking and cycling routes through the estate’s green corridors. Local clubs and groups use the centre for meetings and sport, and allotments on the edge of the estate are managed by community volunteers. The area’s layout, with its central community hub and surrounding playing fields, gives Covingham a compact feel while keeping most facilities within a short walk of surrounding streets.
