Retirement of Cllr Margaret Moore after 44 years

Margaret Moore has retired from Kinwarton Parish Council after an extraordinary 44 years of service to the parish, many of which she served as a thoughtful and diplomatic Chair of the council. She has worked tirelessly to represent her local community, aiming to ensure their needs and concerns are heard and addressed. She has helped serve as a link between residents and higher level councils, helping to improve the quality of life within the parish by advocating for local issues. We are extremely grateful for her hard work and hope she enjoys a well-earned rest, without thinking about hedges, pavements and dog bins!

Huge daffodil display for Spring joy

A large number of daffodil bulbs have been planted in St Mary’s Road this Autumn, in three large ovals along the grass verge. Thank you to our volunteers who planted these for all to enjoy next year.

New grit bin

Kinwarton Parish Council have provided a new grit bin, situated on Gerard Road, outside Alcester Academy. This will help keep the school children, staff and residents safe in the event of icy weather.

Many thanks to the councillors and members of the public who helped planting daffodil bulbs recently on Captains Hill. We will enjoy them in the Spring and plant up further sections next year.

To celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, Kinwarton Parish Council have planted a new copse in St. Mary’s Park, consisting of a selection of native species. As they grow they should provide a peaceful area for walking and contemplation.
