HEAD RUSH HAIR

Westlea surface now smooth and safe
A West Swindon road branded as the most damaged in Swindon last
summer has been resurfaced to a high standard by Swindon Council.
Toothill and Westlea councillor Steve Wakefi eld was pictured in the
August Link at Langstone Way, outside Westlea Primary School, which
