Warwick District Council

Our vision is to make Warwick District a great place to live, work and visit, by improving lives and our environment. The Council’s Corporate Strategy – Towards Warwick 2030 is designed to support and deliver our vision for the District and has three strategic priorities:

  1. Delivering valued, sustainable services

In order that the Council can continue to focus its efforts and activities on the needs of its residents, communities and businesses, this priority will be underpinned by continued demonstration of financial sustainability through the medium term.

  1. Low cost, low carbon across the district

The Council will look to find ways to reduce energy consumption and bills in Council civic buildings, Council housing, and help others to do the same, such as privately owned homes, businesses and other public and voluntary sector organisation.

  1. Creating vibrant, safe and healthy communities of the future

We will work with communities, businesses and public sector partners to enable and support improvements where people’s community, economic and housing needs can be met. This will facilitate a better and more sustainable balance with the natural world that will allow our communities and businesses to thrive in a sustainable and safe way.

The Council has 44 elected Councillors made up from five political groups. There is no overall control of the Council.  Our net revenue general fund expenditure is just under £21.3m, funded mainly by Council Tax (£10.6m), Business Rates (£7.3m) and funding from Government (£3.4m).  Our approach emphasises the importance of growth in the local economy and of ensuring that all our communities benefit from that growth.

We are confident that our Change Management Programme will address the future service and financial needs of the Council over the next five years and beyond, by improving the efficiency and effectiveness of how we deliver our services.

Across all services we employ around 500 people, and our organisation structure sets out our leadership portfolios.
