About

Rodbourne Cheney lies in the northwest of Swindon, bordered by the Great Western Main Line and the M4 motorway.

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.
