As in previous years, it provides an easily accessible reference of how the quality of life in Warwickshire and its Districts compares with elsewhere, and also how quality of life in the County is changing over time. The purpose of the report remains to inform policy development, monitoring and review across the County, using a wide range of indicators. Previous reports have been welcomed and used by a variety of organisations and individuals across Warwickshire who are working to improve the social, economic and environmental well being and quality of life of the area. The new ‘Strategic Plan for Warwickshire’ sets out actions being taken to improve the quality of life in the County, and this report provides those involved in this work with the information to see whether their actions are helping to achieve overall improvements. Appendix B links each of the indicators to the five themes in the ‘Strategic Plan for Warwickshire’. The indicators included in the report have also been informed by discussions with those involved in the preparation and review of Community Plans. The focus is on outcome indicators – those things that make a real difference to people’s daily lives. Importantly they include measures which reflect individuals’ own perceptions, for example their fear of crime, satisfaction with their neighbourhood as a place to live or with the County as a business location. The Audit Commission have also recently produced a set of Quality of Life indicators, which Local Authorities are being encouraged to monitor on a voluntary basis. Many of these are already included in this report, and we will be exploring how some of the additional suggested indicators could start to be monitored in the future. ‘Quality of Life in Warwickshire’ is divided into four sections – Economic, Social, Environment, and Natural Resources. For each of the individual indicators, a brief description is given, with an assessment of the local performance. Each indicator is summarised in relation to Warwickshire’s performance over time and performance in relation to other areas. ‘Quality of Life in Warwickshire’ can be accessed on the web at www.warwickshire. gov.uk/qualityoflife. It is worth noting that the website also contains a much wider range of indicators than those that have been included in this report. These are now updated on an on-going basis, with the most up-to-date data always available in the indicators on the website. If you have any comments about the report or questions about the information within it, please contact Spencer Payne or Helen Crossling in the County Council’s Research Unit by phone (01926 418644), e-mail (research@ warwickshire.gov.uk) or at the address below.

Growth has been particularly rapid in recent years – increasing by almost 18,000 between 2000 and 2003. Continued in-migration from the urban areas of Coventry and Birmingham is believed to be the key factor behind this trend. Population growth continues to occur most rapidly in Warwick district where large housing developments such as Warwick Gates, Whitnash Allotments and several developments in Warwick West (most notably Kings Meadow) have contributed to a 2.4% growth over the period 2002-2003 (the 8th highest of all Local Authorities in England and Wales). Stratford-on-Avon also continues to receive significant levels of net-inward migration. Population change in Nuneaton & Bedworth and Rugby has been more modest while North Warwickshire’s population has remained relatively stable.

THE WARWICKSHIRE ADDER HUNT • In 2004 WART became the lead partner for the adder in the Warwickshire, Coventry and Solihull Local Biodiversity Action Plan. • The adder is acknowledged as rare in the Midlands and is listed as a priority species on the UK Biodiversity Action plan. Our first step was to determine the current distribution and status in the region. • There were 24 sites where adders had been recorded so our first step was to go back to these sites to have another look. What did we find out? • Half the sites had gone due to urban development and unsympathetic agricultural practices. • On the remaining 12 sites we placed arrays of refugia (tins, onduline, roofing felt) which were checked yearly for 3 years. 6 of these sites turned up grass snakes. • After 3 years we narrowed the search down to 5 sites which seemed to have habitats suitable for adders and had recent records from the 1990’s Kenilworth Common • Best reptile assemblage site in the WART Reserve county.

The survey remains open and available at this location. Please feel free to repeat your survey response or complete the survey for the first time. Part C – Community Recommendations Minutes of any community meetings held to discuss the information available in other parts of the Church Plan. Part D - Action Plan Details of any actions agreed through Community Recommendations, assigned to community participants, Churches Conservation Trust staff, or to the Churches Conservation Trust Local Community Officer specifically. Part A - Current Report Church Introduction & Statement of Significance St Michael's originated in the 13th century as a chapel of ease to the parish of Clifton-upon-Dunsmore. Windows were added to the church later in the same century, and more were added in the following two centuries. After the Reformation, buttresses and a west porch were added. In 1876 the church was restored by Sir George Gilbert Scott for Allesley Boughton-Leigh of nearby Brownsover Hall. The restoration amounted almost to a rebuilding of the church, but it was done in a sympathetic manner. In the early 20th century, new stained glass was inserted in the east window. The church was declared redundant on 10 February 1987 and became vested in the Churches Conservation Trust. The church is constructed in cream-coloured stone, with reddish-brown freestone dressings. The roof is in clay tiles.

  • Chancellor's Commission Essay Competition
    Chancellor’s Commission Essay Competition: The University of Warwick – Supporting, Inspiring and Engaging a Region The University of Warwick finds itself nestled in a region to which it can lend its powerful skillset. The area that this essay will be focusing on in particular will be the West Midlands, especially Birmingham and Coventry, and Warwickshire. This essay will also draw upon my own views as I believe a personal opinion can help to shed light on some of the ways Warwick University could positively help its local community. Issues to be discussed will include challenges facing young people, greener living through sustainability, rural economy, and the current issue of the construction of ‘High Speed 2’ (known as HS2). Firstly, however, this essay will focus on housing. Housing has been ranked as the most urgent issue in need of address for local councils in a recent survey1. Speaking to local MP Mr Chris White, of Warwick and Leamington constituency, he observed more people in need of houses than there were houses to accommodate them2. Though housing issues face the whole nation, it can be argued that the Mr White’s constituency faces a more unique problem as he stated how the housing crisis is coupled with issues of congestion and public transport3. Many students can attest to these problems, with the latter appropriately summarised by Warwick University’s SU President in a recent open letter to Stagecoach4. Indeed, Mr White’s discussion of the background to the housing issue is punctuated by Warwickshire County Council’s community strategy plan for the next decade which states how “housing affordability is still an issue, particularly in certain parts of the County”5.

  • Worcestershire Has Fluctuated in Size Over the Centuries
    HUMAN GENETICS IN WORCESTERSHIRE AND THE SHAKESPEARE COUNTRY I. MORGAN WATKIN County Health Department, Abet ystwyth Received7.x.66 1.INTRODUCTION THEwestern limits of Worcestershire lie about thirty miles to the east of Offa's Dyke—the traditional boundary between England and Wales —yet Evesham in the south-eastern part of the county is described by its abbot in a petition to Thomas Cromwell in as situated within the Principality of Wales. The Star Chamber Proceedings (No. 4) in the reign of Henry VII refer to the bridge of stone at Worcester by which the king's subjects crossed from England into Wales and the demonstrations against the Act of 1430 regulating navigation along the Severn were supported by large numbers of Welshmen living on the right bank of the river in Worcestershire. The object of the investigation is to ascertain whether significant genetic differences exist in the population of Worcestershire and south-western Warwickshire and, in particular, whether the people living west of the Severn are more akin to the Welsh than to the English. The possibility of determining, on genetic grounds, whether the Anglo- Saxon penetration was strongest from the south up the rivers Severn and Avon, or across the watershed from the Trent in the north, or from the east through Oxfordshire and Warwickshire is also explored. 2. THECOUNTY Worcestershirehas fluctuated in size over the centuries and Stratford-on-Avon came for a period under its jurisdiction while Shipston-on-Stour, now a Warwickshire township, remained in one of the detached portions of Worcestershire until the turn of the present century.

  • 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.
