Highworth Town Council is obliged to revise its Neighbourhood Plan every three years. Unfortunately, this revision has been delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. We now have to make up for lost time and press on with the revision. To do this we need your help.
‘Compassionate Swindon’ has been set up to support Voluntary organisations helping those who are either self-isolating or safe distancing, There are links for individuals and volunteer groups to either offer or ask for help and a lot of useful information.
Highworth Town Council supports the Visitor Information Centre in the form of a grant for 2021/2022.
The Information Centre can be found on Highworth High Street opposite the Market Place. This quintessential hilltop market town has a unique heritage (including over 80 listed buildings) and a link to an important WWII resistance story. The centre enhances the visitor experience to the town and showcases local art and crafts. It develops public engagement with the heritage story through exhibits, displays and local information.
