Access to County Councillors,  Borough Councillors and MP 

From time to time residents may have a need to consult with politicians who represent us at Borough and County levels and in the House of Parliament.

In the past the Thurlaston Parish Council has valued the support and interest given by these Councillors and our MP.

We always invite Councillors to our Parish Council meetings. Attendance by our representatives has become intermittent over the past several months, particularly later months of 2018 and early 2019.  Our Member of Parliament for Kenilworth & Southam (which includes Thurlaston) is Jeremy Wright MP.  Our MP has always responded to resident questions and those presented to him by the Parish Council.

Below is some information on our representatives but fuller information can be obtained from the relevant websites:

Warwickshire County Council & Rugby Borough Council

This section outlines government responsibilities handed to the Thurlaston Parish, and those which are the responsibility of other local government organisations.
Local government is organised in a number of tiers. The Thurlaston Parish is located in Warwickshire and comes under management arrangements which are split between Warwickshire County Council and Rugby Borough Council.

It is important to appreciate that a number of Parish Council's roles are advisory rather than of an executive nature.

  • Education
  • Transport
  • Planning
  • Fire and public safety
  • Social Care
  • Libraries
  • Waste management
  • Trading standards

 

 

The Parish Council operates below borough councils. They are elected for a number of local issues, such as: 

  • Allotments
  • Street lighting
  • Bus shelters
  • Community centres
  • Play areas and play equipment
  • Grass cutting
  • Maintaining public paths
  • Grants to help local organisations
  • Consultation on neighbourhood planning
  • Consultation with regard to county-wide strategic planning
  • Local Emergency Plans

  • Rubbish collection
  • Recycling
