At a recent meeting on 12th January 2012, which was also attended by residents from Haydon End, Redhouse, St Andrew’s Ridge and Oakhurst, the NSCA put together their mission statement:
· To bring together North Swindon community and interest groups to discuss matters of mutual interest in a non-political context.
· To share information.
· To speak as one voice.
· To take action on agreed issues affecting the community within North Swindon.
· To be ‘stronger together’.
It was emphasised by members of the group that they wanted a "grassroots up" Association with the community taking the lead. Terry Hunt (Chairman of Rodbourne Cheney Residents’ Association) was duly elected the new Chair of the NSCA.
