Warwick District Personal Details: Name: Charles BOURNE E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: Comment text: I am very pleased to see that the Boundary Commission has decided to proceed with its own proposals, rather than adopting any of those put forward by Warwick District Council or any of the political parties (although some of these were more reasonable than others!). I totally support the objective of the Boundary Commission of creating wards with the least variation from the population average, and aligning wards as far as possible with the County Council divisions adopted following their most recent revision. However, I wish particularly to express my SUPPORT for two aspects of the Boundary Commission's proposals, both of which "correct" very unfortunate aspects of the County Council boundaries: (1) To include the area between the railway line and the River Leam in Clarendon Ward rather than Brunswick. I live in this area and can categorically confirm that the community on and around Avenue Road/Adelaide Road identify with and consider ourselves part of Leamington Spa town centre and North Leamington (Clarendon Ward or Milverton Ward), and not South Leamington (Brunswick). I am very grateful that members of the Commission took the trouble to visit this area, and affirm their view that hard geographical features separate our area from Brunswick ward. (2) To broaden Milverton Ward across Kenilworth Road so that the ward is coherent, compact and geographically rational. I hope that whatever changes the Boundary Commission might make to these proposals as a result of this consultation, they will not make any alteration to these two elements. I also generally support the revisions proposed for Leamington Spa Town Council. I wish to express my strong support for the creation of a single seat for the Victoria area of south Clarendon Ward. This neighbourhood, in which I have lived since 1994, is a socially coherent and geographically compact area that is ideally suited to separate representation, and this proposal strikes me as well considered and wholly beneficial. I hope the Boundary Commission will not be persuaded to change this proposal by any negative consultation responses from outside the area in question. Charles Bourne, I was born in Leamington Spa and went to school in Warwick. After a period spent away from Leamington Spa I have lived continuously in since 1994.

It will ruin local democracy for its Kenilworth resident's. Uploaded Documents: None Uploaded Warwick District Personal Details: Name: Graham Edward Cooper E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: Personal Comment text: It appears inappropriate for Lillington St. Mary Magdalene Parish Church to be in Milverton Ward since it more comfortably comes within the new North Leamington Ward (occupying most of Lillington) and it is requested that a small adjustment be made to rectify this matter. In addition, the title of the new ward Leamington North sounds rather clinical, whereas "Leamingon Lillington" will more accurately reflect the area, since Lillington occupies most of this new ward and incorporating the Lillington name is likely to stimulate greater interest at election times. Uploaded Documents: None Uploaded 21 May 2018 The Boundary Commission for England and Wales Dear Sirs re: Proposed Changes to Warwick District Ward Boundaries We are most concerned about the proposed change to our Ward boundary and the joining of Leek Wootton and Guy’s Cliffe Parish with Cubbington Parish for electoral purposes. Whilst this may provide electoral equality and the two parishes are co-terminus it does not recognise the difference in the communities within the District. Leek Wootton & Guy’s Cliffe has no relationship with Cubbington, which is a suburban extension of the urban community of Royal Leamington Spa, whereas Leek Wootton & Guy’s Cliffe is a rural parish and shares more common interests with the adjacent rural parishes to the south and west, such as Lapworth, Hatton, Wroxall, Budbrooke, etc. The suggestions presented by Warwick District Council in its recommendations of community between the two parishes relating to air traffic and HS2 are totally spurious. Indeed, HS2 will not impact upon Leek Wootton & Guy’s Cliffe Parish at all and air traffic routes into Birmingham Airport affect the entire district and are not a major concern amongst the population. The proposed joining of the two parishes does not take any account of community interests and identities and is an attempt to fulfil electoral equalities only. We object most strongly to this proposal and feel sure a better fit can be found.

The two areas are very different communities. Lillington is a very old settlement, parts of the Parish Church are thought to date to Saxon times. That an area of Lillington, around the Parish Church and the Manor House should now be included in Milverton makes no sense. This is an area of Lillington which would have been the heart of the original settlement, and will be no longer be considered part of Lillington by the Boundary commission.. For many of Lillington parishioners the Parish Church is a focal point. Although the primary schools in leamington are not formally Church, or Faith schools, both Lillington and Tellford Schools do have stron links with lillington Parish Church.Lillington School have special services in the Church at Christmas and Easter. There is also a 3 day event where Year 3 children from both schools attend an event @looking at Lillington, giving children knowledge and history of their local community. It is absurd to break up an ancient community, that many would consider Lillington to be a Leamington suburb only shows a lack of knowledge of the history of this ancient settlement. I would urge the Boundary commissioners to look again at how their decisions were made.

I used to live in this road and it was of endless frustration to me that I voted in the Kenilworth and Southam constituency when I had no connection to either of these towns.

I am not in favour of the area being called Lillington. Lillington is only a very small part of the area. I don't think that people living in Milverton would be very happy with that. It would be much less divisive to call the new boundary area North Leamington. Also, I feel that this is the correct name for the area. It is literally North Leamington. Many thanks.

We'll no longer be part of the conservation area of Lillington and we're wondering why no-one bothered to inform us? Is this just someone re-arranging each ward to try to make the numbers equal? Can you tell us what this will mean for us that we're no longer in the conservation area? Regards Graham and Linda O'Rourke Uploaded Documents: None Uploaded Warwick District Personal Details: Name: Chris Rhodes E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: Mr Comment text: I live in , off Lime avenue. I object strongly to the proposed changes that will place me in Milverton! There is no historic or demographic reason for the change. I live in Lillington, close to its historic centre, and have no affinity to Milverton. Lillington would be a far better name than North Leamington, and if you use the 1713 map, far more historically accurate. You should be encouraging local community feeling, not destroying it.

It is at the heart of the Conservation Area, and both as residents and members of the Lillington Local History Society, we feel bound to protest in the strongest terms at the proposal to rename this area in order to accommodate voting practices. We would much prefer to be known as 'Leamington Lillington", rather than Leamington Milverton, for obvious historic reasons.
