Welcome to Kingsbury Parish Council’s Website. As the site
develops we hope it will become the local access point for
information about the Parish Council. To find more information
within the site use the navigation buttons on the left hand side
of each page.
In the 2001 census the parish had a
population of 7,523.

Transport Problems?
Beeline Community Transport is currently
asking residents in Wood End and Piccadilly
if they are having transport difficulties
now that the bus
services have changed.
In a few weeks time the questionnaires will
also
be available in Hurley and Kingsbury.
Questionnaires are available in the Co-op,
Red Box newsagent and the Village Hall in
Wood End and the Community Centre in Piccadilly
or from this website. Katy Harper will also
be calling on a few people. If you know
someone who has a transport problem please
encourage them to fill in a questionnaire or
ring Katy on 01827 712278.
Beeeline has a team of volunteers who use
their own cars to take people to medical
appointments when they have no access to a
car or bus. If you need to go to
a
doctor, hospital, dentist or optician, etc
or even visiting a loved one, call Beeline
on 01827 717074.

Warwickshire Community and
Voluntary Action Organisation
Website:
www.wcava.org.uk
Tel: 01827 718080
The Warwickshire CAVA is very active in Kingsbury and all the
surrounding villages.
Basically it acts as a sort of umbrella group
for anyone who runs (or is thinking of running)
any sort of volunteer or community group.
CAVA can advise on setting up a group, staying
within the law, getting funding or grants,
looking after the books and paperwork, and all
the other administrative issues that might
arise.
CVS development workers visit Kingsbury
regularly, and "outreach" sessions are held in
Kingsbury at frequent intervals where people can
get free advice. |
|
Tel: 01827 717073
Website:
www.vcnw.org.uk
Acts as a bridge between
people who want to help out in their local
community and voluntary groups who need new
volunteers. The VC keeps a computerised
list of volunteering opportunities throughout
North Warwickshire, and makes sure volunteers
are properly treated.
A Volunteer Centre worker is
in Kingsbury Library every Monday afternoon, but
there are details there at all times.
