Community Governance Review of the boundary between Lapworth and Rowington Parish Councils
Outcome of the review
At its meeting on Wednesday 7 January 2026, the Audit and Standards Committee considered the consultation responses, the representations made at the meeting, by both Lapworth and Rowington Parish Councils, and the report when taking their decision.
Councillors felt that with the Government decision regarding Local Government Organisation and the possible upcoming ward boundary changes, it was not a priority to progress the community Governance Review at this time and therefore approved the recommendation in the report that no further action is taken at this time.

About this review
Warwick District Council received a request from Lapworth Parish Council to revise the existing Lapworth Parish Council and Rowington Parish Council boundary from Kingswood Brook [bridge B4439/006] to the Grand Union Canal [bridge 65].
This would have brought the Kingswood Green development of and properties on the Old Warwick Road (circa 57 properties in total) into the administrative area of Lapworth PC rather than that of Rowington PC.
A consultation ran from Monday 10 November 2025 to midday on Friday 19 December 2025.
