People living in Parks and East Walcot are being asked to help shape health services they need for their neighbourhood.

Two exhibitions are planned to show residents what is on offer and to ask them what else they think they need.

There will be a variety of health and lifestyle exhibits dealing with everything from sensible eating to smoking. Health visitors will be on hand, and there will be a chance to get your blood pressure tested.

Primary Care Trust public health manager Lynda Wearn said: "We hope these two sessions will give everyone the chance to see just how much is available and we want their ideas on how services can be developed."

The events are being organised in conjunction with the Parks and East Walcot Neighbourhood Renewal Partnership. The PCT is a partner along with Swindon Council and other voluntary organisations and businesses.

The first event will be held at St Andrew's Church centre, in Raleigh Avenue, East Walcot, today from noon to 12.30pm and from 6pm to 7.30pm.

The second will run from 9am to noon at St John's church, in Whitbourne Avenue, Park South, tomorrow.
