Community Governance Review of the boundary between Lapworth and Rowington Parish Councils

/in News/by

Late in 2024, Lapworth Parish Council received a request from some residents of Kingswood Green to revise the existing Lapworth Parish Council and Rowington Parish Council boundary from Kingswood Brook [bridge B4439/006] to the Grand Union Canal [bridge 65].

This would bring the Kingswood Green development of and properties on the Old Warwick Road (circa 57 properties in total) into the administrative area of Lapworth PC rather than that of Rowington PC.

On 28 October 2025, the Warwick District Council Audit & Standards Committee considered this proposal and agreed to undertake a review of this boundary, under Section 82 of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007. The District Council would like to know what residents within the affected area think about the proposals for the revised boundary and invites you to send your views and responses.

As residents of Lapworth Parish, you have the right to comment even if you do not live in the affected area.

To send your views and responses please see options below:

  • By an online form which can be found at www.warwickdc.gov.uk/CGR
  • By email to elections@warwickdc.gov.uk
  • In writing to Graham Leach, Head of Governance & Monitoring Officer, Warwick District Council, Town Hall, Parade, Royal Leamington Spa, Warwickshire CV32 4AT

Warwick District Council has drawn up terms of reference for the review. A copy of the plan showing the current and proposed boundary is also available to view.

The deadline for sending views and responses for consideration in the first stage of the CGR is Friday 19 December 2025.

For more information on why the revision has been proposed, please email the Clerk at clerk@lapworth-pc.gov.uk
