Oberon Way, Abbey Meads, Swindon
This pleasant suburban location is a crime scene. For some weeks cars parked hereabouts have been vandalised in an unusual fashion by having their anti-lock braking systems attacked. The perpetrators remained unidentified until recently when an off-duty police officer found teeth marks on the damaged parts of his car's brakes. Further forensic investigations confirmed that the offenders were of American extraction and members of the notorious Sciurus crime family http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/8456675.Furry_vandal_drives_police_nuts/

Penhill Copse
A strip of woodland extending off the Seven Fields Nature Reserve. Possibly preserved as an environmental amenity, but more likely because it's on a slope too steep to build on.
Whatever the reason, it's a nice bit of green amongst all the houses.

Houses in Melksham Close, 'the valley', Penhill, Swindon
Melksham Close is at the northern edge of Penhill. The estate was developed in the early to mid 1950s by the local council. I understand it had been intended to complete the estate a few hundred metres south of here but circumstances made the council decide to carry on down the northern slope of the hill the estate is mainly built upon. This northern extension became known as 'the valley' and soon acquired something of a poor reputation where it was suspected 'problem families' were housed. I have no way of knowing whether that is true or, if it is, was a deliberate policy on the part of the Housing department. It is true that there have been instances of some properties in the valley having been used as crack houses.
