District Council to mark the Covid-19 Day of Reflection
Warwick District Council will be marking the National Day of Reflection for the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Chairman of the Council, Councillor Rob Margrave will lead a quiet and simple ceremony on the steps of Leamington Town Hall at 11am on Sunday 9 March.
Members of the local community are invited to join him to reflect on shared experiences and to commemorate those who lost their lives during the pandemic.
There’s still time to share your feedback on Warwick District Council’s current and future Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs).
The Council’s latest consultation on the rules around behaviour and restrictions in public spaces runs until 9 March, with the local authority keen to receive views on issues such as:
Areas where dog controls should be in place
Intoxication and associated Anti-Social Behaviour in public spaces
Warwick and Stratford-on-Avon District Councils are encouraging residents to get more recycling aware in return for a donation to charity.
The innovative scheme is being made available through Biffa, the Councils’ waste and recycling collection contractor, with a donation of 10p being made to the respective Chairperson’s Charities each time a search is made via the Recycling Info feature on the Councils’ mobile app.
We are seeking out nominations for unsung heroes who could be rewarded with the Freedom of the District, the highest Council award, as part of our 50th-anniversary celebrations.
