"Proud to serve the Parish of Swanwick"
Village life is a wonderful thing, something to be appreciated and preserved.
Swanwick Parish Council is committed to preserving the heritage of our village but also to preparing it for the future.

The more effort that is put in to create a sense of community, the greater the gain for the village as a whole.
This website helps maintain that process by allowing information to be exchanged, news to be spread and events to be announced. Find out what’s happening and read about what’s happened. If you want to keep abreast of the latest news then sign up for the RSS feed.
