OVERWEIGHT Swindon residents are being given the chance to manage their weight effectively, thanks to new classes being run by the council.

The Weight Management classes will take place at the Croft Centre from Thursday, May 5.

They will combine ideas on how to eat healthily and take gentle exercise and will provide support to people in achieving their personal weight loss targets.

The classes cost £4.70 for Swindon Card holders, £4.20 for concessions and £6 for non cardholders.
