The recommendations also outline how those councillors should represent 11 three-councillor wards, five two-councillor wards and one single-councillor ward across the district.
The proposed wards would be:
Leamington Clarendon
Leamington Willes
Leamington Brunswick
Leamington Milverton
Leamington North
Radford Semele
Whitnash
Bishop’s Tachbrook
Cubbington and Leek Wootton
Warwick Myton and Heathcote
Warwick Aylesford
Warwick Saltisford
Warwick Woodloes
Budbrooke
Lapworth and West Kenilworth
Kenilworth St John’s
Kenilworth Park Hill
Some of the current wards have been extended and some wards have been integrated into larger wards with new names.
Under the new proposals eight of the current wards in the district would be integrated into other larger Wards.
