Poors Plot Charity
Charity details were updated during March 2023. Trustees are happy to make a grant of £300 available to any young person of the Thurlaston parish when they finish full time education to help with the cost of their further education.
Applications are usually considered at the next committee meeting of the Trustees. These occur approximately twice per year usually in March and September. Applications must be sent to the Secretary at least one week prior to the date of the meeting at which it will be discussed. A grant application form is available on this website for making requests.
Planning Applications Database
As of August 2021 all Planning applications which have been assessed by the Parish Council are located under the Planning section of the website. This includes representations relevant to the Rugby Local Plan.
Community Defibrillator
The website now contains information on how to use the community defibrillator which is located in the old telephone kiosk on Main Street. To some degree this helps with villager training given this has not been possible during the Coronavirus pandemic.
