About

Rodbourne Cheney lies in the northwest of Swindon, bordered by the Great Western Main Line and the M4 motorway. The area is primarily residential, characterised by a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing and more modern post-war developments. Its industrial heritage is visible in the former railway works buildings that have been repurposed for other commercial uses. The ward includes the district of Rodbourne itself and stretches towards the Cheney Manor industrial estate.

The community is served by local shops along Rodbourne Road and has several primary schools. A significant green space is the King George V playing field, used for recreation and sports. The area is defined by its transport links, with the main line physically separating it from central Swindon. The historic Rodbourne Cheney parish church, dedicated to St. Mary Magdalene, sits near the older core of the settlement.
