There is a report today about potential merger of Stratford-on-Avon and Warwick District Councils, creating a new district council covering the whole of South Warwickshire. So far Stratford Council has supported Wellesbourne's attempt to stay open through obstructing landowner's development plans. Whether a merged Council would have an equally supportive (or even interested) majority would be another question.

"Councils consult on merger plans

Stratford-on-Avon and Warwick District Councils are considering a proposal to merge, creating a new district council covering the whole of South Warwickshire.

A public consultation on the plans starts today and runs until 24 October.

The consultation document and online questionnaire can be viewed and completed online.

Councillor Andrew Day, leader of Warwick District Council said: "As much as the pandemic has been a crisis for us, it has presented a challenge and an opportunity for us to re-imagine what local government services in South Warwickshire might be like in the future.

"We need to hear your views – we need to listen and respond to what our residents want."

Councillor Tony Jefferson, leader of Stratford-on-Avon District Council added: "Both Councils face significant financial challenges - the impact of dealing with the pandemic, when combined with the increased costs of delivering existing services, such as waste management, as well as responding to the climate emergency."
