Official name of the parish
[edit]Clearly the parish council has achieved a change of name to South Swindon Parish Council. Is there a source for the official name of the civil parish? Ordnance Survey Election Maps still have it as Central Swindon South. -- Wire723 (talk) 15:03, 27 February 2024 (UTC)
- In gov.uk data the GSS code for the parish is E04012664 and this is consistently named as Central Swindon South. Examples: MapIt and Opendatasoft. Wire723 (talk) 14:22, 28 February 2024 (UTC)
- ONS Linked Data record for the parish:

- It'll just be a data propagation issue. The council is the source of truth on it, but suspect they're not that hot on updating third parties. I've sent off a few emails to prompt ONS and OS to talk to SBC; we'll see if the change filters through in the next few weeks. Once those two update it'll probably start to ripple through the rest of the dataverse. Patch86UK (talk) 15:12, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
- OK thanks. I hadn't realised that parish names could be changed in a "bottom-up" way. -- Wire723 (talk) 18:26, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
- As a point of interest, and to close the loop, I've finally gotten round to checking back on this one and the data has finally propagated. It's now showing as South Swindon in all linked sources. I wish I'd been paying attention closely enough to find out exactly how long it takes! Patch86UK (talk) 18:38, 30 October 2025 (UTC)
