Latest News and Updates

We would like to invite parishioners to attend a public meeting on

Sunday 20^th October being held at The Rose Inn between 7-8pm.

Representatives from Affinity Water will be presenting information and plans about the Grand Union Canal Transfer and how the laying of a pipeline from Minworth to Atherstone may affect the village and the surrounding area. The consultation period is open until 25^th October, so hopefully this meeting will give people the opportunity to ask questions, raise issues and make a formal response if they wish to do so. Please come along and find out more about this project and how it will affect you.

The links below provide further information about the plans.

Chairman’s report to Baxterley’s Annual Parish Meeting 16th May 2024.

This report is by far the most difficult one I have had to compile so far. The sudden and premature loss of Councillor Angela Graham in July 2023 was a devastating blow. Angela was a breath of fresh air, an engaging, intelligent, experienced and enthusiastic person who, in her short time as Councillor added impetus and optimism to BPC. She has left a mark on all of the people fortunate enough to have crossed her path. Plans are progressing to develop an exercise trail in memorial to Angela.

Again it has been a pleasure and honour to continue as Chairman of Baxterley Parish Council for 2023/24, my 10th consecutive year in office.
We continue to monitor external influences on our Parish in a proactive manner to protect the village and its environment. Mutually beneficial links between BPC, NWBC, WCC, JLR our MP Craig Tracey, Warwickshire Police and the Merevale Estate has meant we have been influential and effective in preserving, shaping and importantly, improving our Community. The strong relationship and support from our Borough and County Councillors is pivotal to this and is very much appreciated.
