Parish Amenities

Nearly all emergencies affecting the local community will be dealt with routinely by a joint response from the emergency services, local authorities, health agencies and utility companies. However, in extreme conditions such as snow and flooding, there is a possibility that the emergency services and other agencies may be overwhelmed and not be able to reach us immediately.

The Parish Council's Emergency Plan is currently under review. However, a communication system remains in place since the COVID-19 pandemic.

You can contact the Clerk or Parish Councillors at any time.

The long-awaited new Leek Wootton War Memorial Recreation Ground car park is now open!

Please note there is a NEW LAYOUT AND GYRATORY SYSTEM. Users are asked to PARK IN MARKED BAYS ONLY

After several years in the planning, the Rec Car Park project will commence on Monday, 26 June 2023 and last approximately 6 weeks. During this time there will be no vehicular access to the hall, but it will remain open.

The Plan for the car park is available to view on the WDC Planning Portal at Layout1 (warwickdc.gov.uk), which is a revised plan on the first for this planning application and does not require the removal of trees between the car park and the sports field.

When asking for the conditions to be approved for the commencement of works, a requirement was made for an Ecological Development Plan to be drawn up, showing how the biodiversity net gain will be achieved. This plan is available to view here (as well as on the Planning Portal - Ref. W/21/1871) :

In May 2022 the Stagecoach No.16 bus service will be discontinued and is to be replaced by a Demand-Responsive Transport Service.

People living within the West Warwick service area will be able to book minibus transport , via an app or by phone, within the area and to Kenilworth and Warwick, where they can link to other transport services.

We are currently awaiting further details of how the service will work, but it will be similar to systems currently running in Atherstone, Coleshill and Rugby.
