North Warwickshire is a local government district with borough status in Warwickshire, England. The borough includes the two towns of Atherstone (where the council is based) and Coleshill, and the large villages of Hartshill, Kingsbury, Mancetter, Polesworth and Water Orton along with smaller villages and surrounding rural areas.

The area historically had a large coal mining industry, but the last coal mine in the area, Daw Mill at Arley, closed in 2013.[2] The borough's landscape is primarily of the mildly undulating agricultural variety, with the North Warwickshire plateau rising to 177 m (581 ft) above sea-level at Bentley Common, 2.5 miles southwest of Atherstone. The most significant bodies of water within North Warwickshire are Kingsbury Water Park, Shustoke Reservoir, the River Blythe and the mid-section of the Coventry Canal.

The neighbouring districts are Nuneaton and Bedworth, Coventry, Solihull, Birmingham, Lichfield, Tamworth, North West Leicestershire and Hinckley and Bosworth.

History

The district was created on 1 April 1974 under the Local Government Act 1972, by a merger of one previous district with part of another, these were:[3]

The new district was named North Warwickshire, reflecting its position in the wider county.[4] The district was awarded borough status from its creation, allowing the chair of the council to take the title of mayor.[5]

North Warwickshire Borough Council provides district-level services. County-level services are provided by Warwickshire County Council.[8] The whole borough is also covered by civil parish, which form a third tier of local government.[9]

Political control

The council has been under no overall control since the 2023 election, being led by a Conservative minority administration with informal support from two of the three independent councillors.[10]

The first elections to the council were held in 1973, initially operating as a shadow authority alongside the outgoing authorities until the new arrangements came into effect on 1 April 1974. Political control of the council since 1974 has been as follows:[11]

Party in control Years
Labour 1974–1976
No overall control 1976–1979
Labour 1979–2003
No overall control 2003–2007
Conservative 2007–2011
Labour 2011–2015
Conservative 2015–2023
No overall control 2023–present

Leadership

The role of mayor is largely ceremonial in North Warwickshire. Political leadership is instead provided by the leader of the council. The leaders since 2009 have been:[12]

Councillor Party From To
Colin Hayfield Conservative pre-2009 18 May 2011
Mick Stanley Labour 18 May 2011 20 May 2015
David Humphreys Conservative 20 May 2015 20 May 2020
David Wright Conservative 20 May 2020

Composition

Following the 2023 election the composition of the council was:[13]

Party Councillors
Conservative 17
Labour 15
Independent 3

Two of the three independent councillors sit together as the "Dordon Independents" group, which supported the Conservatives in forming a minority administration in May 2023.[10] The next election is due in 2027.

Dimensionless quantity relating lift to fluid density and velocity over an area In fluid dynamics, the lift coefficient (CL) is a dimensionless quantity that relates the lift generated by a lifting body to the fluid density around the body, the fluid velocity and an associated reference area. A lifting body is a foil or a complete foil-bearing body such as a fixed-wing aircraft. CL is a function of the angle of the body to the flow, its Reynolds number and its Mach number.
