South Warwickshire Conservatives

Jeremy Wright MP is backing British Farming and supporting the local farming community.

Today I attended the Back British Farming Day parliamentary reception hosted by the National Farmers’ Union.

Back British Farming Day is a fantastic opportunity to get behind our farmers and recognise the work they do and to support rural communities.

BACKING BRITISH FARMING!

Conservative councillors across Warwickshire County and Stratford District are backing British farmers and encouraging shoppers to look for the label, choose home-grown and buy British. Cllrs Chris Kettle, Andy Crump, Chris Mills and Malcom Littlewood all showed up to support our farmers today at Shire Hall.

Farming and food supports millions of jobs and is vital to our rural economy, food security and the countryside we value. But farmers are facing rising costs, extreme weather and continued uncertainty.

Here in Warwickshire, farming isn’t something distant. It’s part of our communities, our economy and our way of life.

When you can, buy British and back our farmers!

And we’re off! 🔵🌳

Today marks the start of South Warwickshire Conservatives’ campaign ahead of next year’s Warwickshire unitary council elections. Over the coming months, we’ll be out and about across our towns and villages listening to residents, discussing local issues, and working hard for the communities we’re proud to represent.

The campaign is well underway and the hard work begins - now all we need is for the British weather to cooperate!

A fantastic charity chosen by Conservative Cllr Pam Redford!

Warwick District Council Chairman, Councillor Pam Redford, has announced ILEAP Charity as her chosen charity for 2026/27.

The South Warwickshire-based charity provides leisure activities for children, young people and adults with additional needs, helping members to enjoy safe, supportive and inclusive opportunities in local community settings.

Following a recent visit to the Kenilworth Centre to meet ILEAP members and volunteers, Councillor Redford commented:

“I greatly admire the work that ILEAP does across our district, helping to give members of our community with additional needs the opportunity to make new friends, and enjoy meaningful experiences. These sessions are also a chance for families and carers to re-charge knowing that their loved ones are enjoying a stimulating caring and welcoming environment.”

Yesterday, two of our councillor team, Chris Mills and Malcolm Littlewood, attended the Tysoe Flower Show And Fete!

Here they are with stars of our communities Community Police Support Officers and Volunteer First Responders both based in and around Shipston on Stour. These wonderful people are essential for our rural communities away from urban infrastructure such as A&E. The event was also supported by our Warwickshire Fire & Rescue service. A big thank you to all of you for helping to keep us safe and secure.

🧊 fridge or freezer packed in?! Don’t chuck it!! 🧊

It has recently been announced that Warwickshire County has suspended the collection of fridges, freezers and other cooling appliances at Household Waste Recycling Centres across the county.

The Conservative Team are:

🔵 very disappointed in this

🔵 looking for answers as best as we can!

Whilst we sort that, the key things you need to know are:

🔵 Do not bring fridges or freezers to Warwickshire recycling centres as they will not currently be accepted.

🔵If you are buying a new appliance, check whether the retailer can take away your old one as part of a take-back scheme.

🔵 If your appliance is still working, consider repair, reuse or donation.

🔵 If possible, safely store unwanted appliances at home until recycling capacity improves.

Stay cool out there folks!
