Chairman James Mackay believes the statistics could be a ‘lifeline’ for the council’s Local Plan.

Mr Mackay said: “Warwick District Council has worked long and hard to prepare a new Local Plan. A milestone was reached last week with the deadline for representations on the ‘soundness’ of the publication draft.”

Members of a wide range of local groups, including representatives from Leamington, Whitnash and Bishops Tachbrook, have written to the district council because they fear there is a strong risk the plan will, if it goes to its public examination, fail the test of ‘soundness.’
