Wiltshire Police have announced they are renewing the appeal for witnesses to the suspected hit-and-run which led to the death of a 14-year-old on Akers Way, a week on from the fatal collision.
The incident occurred outside Nova Hreod Academy at around 8.20am on Friday, November 25 when a car hit pupil Harry Parker and subsequently failed to stop.

Police and ambulance crews arrived at the scene before Harry was airlifted to Southmead Hospital in Bristol, where he died later that day.
At the time a police spokesperson said: "A 14-year-old boy has been sadly pronounced dead, despite the best efforts of medical staff, following a road traffic collision in Swindon.
"Our thoughts are with the family and friends of the teenager at this incredibly difficult time, and we would ask that their privacy is respected.
"We are continuing to appeal for witnesses to the tragic incident”.
