A campaign to tackle pavement parking has led to a pavement parking ban.
The ban, now in effect across streets in Redhouse, follows a motion by councillors and support from Guide Dogs UK.
Jake Chandler, borough councillor for St Andrews, said: "While we were campaigning to tackle pavement parking in the centre of Redhouse as St Andrews Councillors, Guide Dogs UK's comments in support made a huge difference.
"Without the support of Guide Dogs UK and their local members in North Swindon, the pavement parking ban probably would not have been possible."
Following the recent ward split, Cllr Cherie Adams is now responsible for monitoring the ban there, while Cllr Chandler and Cllr Kate Tomlinson are monitoring the pavement parking situation in St Andrews East.
Cllr Chandler said: "Meeting with Guide Dogs UK again recently, it was clear Swindon is an example of where this positive and impactful change CAN happen."
The councillors have voiced their support for Guide Dogs UK's Every Street initiative and are considering expanding the pavement parking ban to other areas.
St Andrews councillors credited the success of the ban to collaborative efforts between the council and Guide Dogs UK.
