Local Government Reorganisation

Posted on by David Davis

The Government have decided to remove a tier of local government.  It affects us as NWBC will no longer exist.  You can help decide who will be in charge of our roads, schools, bins etc etc by voting whether it should be a County Council that covers the whole of Warwickshire or split into 2; North and South Warwickshire.  There is information here; Reshaping our Councils for the future of Warwickshire

You can submit your view by completing the online questionnaire at Have your say – Shaping the future of our Councils

The deadline for receipt of all comments/written submissions is 14 September 2025.

Fillongley Neighbourhood Plan – Consultation Statement

In 2013 the Parish Council decided to form a Neighbourhood Plan.  This is part of the Localism Act that has aimed to devolve power back to local communities.  Since then, Fillongley residents and Fillongley Parish Council have been working on a Neighbourhood Plan.  This is a vision of how we would like our village to develop between now and 2034 which runs in parallel with North Warwickshire Borough Councils‘ future planning.   It was voted for in a referendum and was adopted by NWBC as part of the local plan in August 2019.

Thank you to all who contributed to its success.

Defibrillators

Posted on by David Davis

It is fantastic that the Parish now have a number of defibrillators provided by different groups around the Parish.  There are currently defibrillators at;
* The Woodyard (Coventry Road, next to Bournebrook School entrance)
* Fillongley Village Hall (Coventry Road)
* Fillongley Scout and Guide Hut, Church Lane.
* Fillongley Cricket Club, Blackhall Lane
 
All are available for the public to use.  Please note where the locations are in case you ever need it.  IF you are more than 300 metres away, 999 WILL NOT tell you to go and get it.
YOU must tell them you know where one is and you are able to get it.  YOU may be quicker than the ambulance
 
Defibrillators are easy to use; once you turn them on they tell you exactly what to do. 
Thank you to all the groups who have provided these for all of our benefits.“
