🚨 FINAL CALL: HAVE YOUR SAY ON THE SOUTH WARWICKSHIRE LOCAL PLAN 🚨
The public consultation for the South Warwickshire Local Plan (SWLP) closes on September 8th, 2026.
This is your final opportunity to influence a proposal that includes over 17,000 new houses.
➡️ Reform UK voted AGAINST the SWLP
While the Liberal Democrat-led Stratford District Council (with support from three Conservatives and one Green) pushed this through on July 15th, Reform UK Stratford stood firm.
We voted against this plan because it is fundamentally flawed, citing:
❌ Concerns over long-term viability.
❌ Unfair distribution of housing.
❌ A critical lack of guaranteed infrastructure and funding.
Don’t be misled by councillors who now claim to oppose specific developments despite voting to move the entire plan forward. Hold them accountable. Check how your representative voted below.
