Stop plans for unitary authority in Warwickshire

This is not about what political party you vote for, it is about whether Rugby Borough Council remains in control of its services for local people. Please sign this petition to register your opposition to the single unitary authority proposal. Together, we can tell Warwickshire County Council there is a better way.

Why is this important?

We are asking for your support to stop Warwickshire County Council’s plans to abolish Rugby Borough Council and replace it with a single unitary authority for the whole of the county.

Plans for a unitary authority would mean your local voice would be lost; decisions affecting the district would be made by people at a county level who would prioritise the needs of Warwickshire over those of Rugby.

The current ongoing parking fiasco is good example of Warwickshire County Council’s heavy handed approach to regional matters. We should be able to govern ourselves and decisions should be made by people who actually live in the area.

As of the end of August 2020, Shire Hall has already pressed ahead with matter before a major meeting on September 22nd. There’s still time to stop this . . . or at least let them know how we feel.
