The resources have been designed to enable adult learning tutors to organise a local heritage project, comprising four 3-hour workshops, based on the correspondence of Edward Willes, a 19 th century Leamington landowner. The letters were transcribed by local volunteers, supported by the Leamington History Group, and are held at the Warwickshire County Record Office. 2 Edward Willes and his Leamington Legacy The Willes family first obtained the Newbold Comyn estate, close to the small village of Leamington Priors, in the late 16 th century. By 1820, when Leamington was being commercially developed as a spa town, Edward Willes had inherited extensive lands to the north and east of the town. Willes was a great traveller and while abroad, planned the development of his estate.

  • Warwick District Council Ward Boundaries Warwick District Council Submission on Warding Arrangements
    LGBCE Review of Warwick District Council Ward Boundaries Warwick District Council Submission on Warding Arrangements 1.0 Introduction 1.1 This submission is made on behalf of Warwick District Council and is based upon the decision of the Council’s Licensing & Regulatory Committee on 11 January 2018. 1.2 This Council has a fundamental principle that wherever reasonably practicable the Electoral Boundaries should be coterminous, but in doing so they should meet the criteria for electoral equality, the interests and identities of local communities and should promote effective and convenient local government 1.3 Having considered this the Council believes that the proposal it has outlined in this submission meets the criteria for the review and would provide an approach that would best meet the needs of the local communities within Warwick District. 1.4 To achieve this outcome, the Council is proposing 20 Wards with a mixture of 1, 2 and 3 Councillors to represent each Ward to give electoral equality but also to recognise the individual communities within the District. 2.0 Delivering electoral equality for local voters 2.1 The Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) has accepted the methodology for local elector growth within Warwick District from 109,855 in September 2017 to 123,333 in 2023. Following the decision by the LGBCE to set the Council size at 44, this provides an elector to councillor ratio in 2023 of 2803 to each Councillor. 2.2 The proposal from this Council works on a principle of coterminous boundaries across the District except for a few exceptions, to improve electoral equality within the towns of Leamington and Warwick.

  • Royal Leamington Spa Is a Medium-Sized Town in Warwickshire, in the Heart of the English Countryside
    Royall Leamiington Spa – an overviiew Royal Leamington Spa is a medium-sized town in Warwickshire, in the heart of the English countryside. It has a fine Georgian town centre and a spa in the Royal Pump Rooms. Leamington Spa also has one of the finest local shopping centers. Leamington is one of a group of Warwickshire towns to the South-East of Birmingham (the UK's second largest city). The others are Stratford-upon-Avon (birthplace of Shakespeare), Warwick (home to probably the finest castle in Britain) and Kenilworth (a smaller, more genteel, castle town). Ten miles to the north we have the city of Coventry, home to Jaguar cars. To the south we have the Cotswolds with attractive towns like Stow-on-the-Wold, Moreton-in-Marsh and Bourton-on-the-Water less than an hour's drive away. In the summer, Leamington is always amongst the leading contenders for the "Britain in Bloom" award with everything from the parks to roundabouts and the fire station decked out with flowers. Leamington Spa has two cinemas, a theatre, a ten pin bowling, free tennis courts, disc golf, a municipal golf course, a library and art gallery and a leisure centre including a large swimming pool. How to fiind us Regular buses run from Coventry, Warwick and Stratford-upon-Avon to Leamington. Leamington Spa has a well-served train station. Here are some examples of direct train services. • 1h 40m from London (Paddington or Marylebone) • 45 mins from Birmingham (Snow Hill, Moor Street or New Street) • 20 minutes to Birmingham International Airport • 45 mins from Oxford • 15 mins from Coventry www.sprachenmarkt.de, Tel: +49-711-45 10 17 370, [email protected] Distance by coach Birmingham 30 mins East Midlands 55m London Gatwick 1hr 55m London Heathrow 1h 40m London Stansted 1hr 45 mins Luton 1hr 30m Leamiington Spa as a home stay centre Leamington Spa is ideally suited to a home stay centre as it is safe, friendly, not crowded with other teenage groups and a suitable size that students can feel at home quickly and find their way around but without getting bored.

  • 1 Royal Leamington Spa Neighbourhood Plan Regulation 14
    Royal Leamington Spa Neighbourhood Plan Regulation 14 Draft– June 2019 1 Royal Leamington Spa Neighbourhood Plan Regulation 14 Draft– June 2019 2029 Vision for Royal Leamington Spa “Royal Leamington Spa’s vibrant and diverse history gives our town its unique character and distinctive identity. It has become a thriving base of creative, cultural and technological innovation whilst nurturing its valued green spaces and community assets. Looking to our future, we will continue to conserve and protect our built heritage whilst promoting enhancements which allow us to reduce our impact on climate change, support sustainable economic development, build innovative housing, support effective integrated transport systems and contribute to a healthy town.” 1 Jephson Gardens 2 Royal Leamington Spa Neighbourhood Plan Regulation 14 Draft– June 2019 Foreword Royal Leamington Spa is a Town with a brief but relatively rich history. It owes much to the Victorian fascination with the curative properties of Spa water which was the principal reason for its rapid growth from a small hamlet of only 300 people in 1801 to over 27,000 one hundred years later. Throughout the period of the industrial era of the late 19th Century and the expansion of the railways, Leamington remained at the forefront of the growth in urbanisation with much of the architectural diversity seen today a result of this expansion. Throughout its history, the Town has embraced change and continues to do so. This is seen in the decline of traditional manufacturing industries and the rise of new technological solutions, evidenced in the establishment of a growing digital media sector which has earned the Town the soubriquet “Silicon Spa”.
