Community Governance Review - Rugby Radio Station site (now Houlton) in Clifton-upon-Dunsmore parish

Rugby Borough Council has received a petition from local residents requesting a Community Governance Review (CGR) to consider the creation of a separate parish for the Rugby Radio Station site (now Houlton) in Clifton-upon-Dunsmore parish.

The petition states:

"This petition requests that Rugby Borough Council undertakes a CGR to consider the options to create a financially fairer and more democratic layer of local government for Houlton residents.

"This petition specifically requests that Rugby Borough Council considers removing the former Rugby Radio Station site (now Houlton) from Clifton-upon-Dunsmore's parish boundaries and to consider the creation of a new parish council to serve the Houlton area."

A CGR for the Houlton site in Clifton-upon-Dunsmore parish was agreed at a meeting of full council on Wednesday 10 January 2025, when the terms of reference for the CGR were also confirmed.
