Welcome to the Brinklow Parish Council Website

Welcome to the new website for Brinklow village, brought to you by Brinklow Parish Council. It is hoped that you will find these pages both useful and interesting, and we would welcome any contributions to the website you may have.

Each month, the website will be updated with the Minutes and Agendas for the council meetings, along with any other content we have which will be of use to the village. Some sections of the website are still under construction, please be patient with us while we get the content sorted for these pages.

About Brinklow

Brinklow is a village and parish in the Rugby district of Warwickshire with a population of 1041 (2001 census). It sits astride the Fosse Way – a former Roman road which ran from Exeter to Lincoln.

The village is well served with three Pubs (The White Lion, The Bull’s Head and The Raven), a Post Office and Stores and Pumpkin’s Deli. There is also a Fish and Chip shop and Chinese Takeaway, as well as Sposa, a bridal shop. More details for these can be seen on the local businesses page.

Road Closure Information

British Waterways are reconstructing the canal bridge on Brinklow Road between Brinklow and Easenhall for three months from April 2012. Service 585 will not be able to serve Easenhall or Town Thorns during this time, and a free ”on demand” taxi service has been put in place to transport people from Easenhall and Town Thorns ( or travelling to these places ) to and from Harborough Magna to meet the bus there.

The taxi is to be operated by Fone A Car of Rugby, and passengers wishing to use the service should call them on either 01788 543333 or 01788 333333 in advance to book their taxi.

There are some timing revisions to the 585 timetable to compensate for the extended journey round the diversion. Full details are on the Travel De Courcey website. Travel De Courcey will be putting posters on their buses, and the taxi contact details on their website.
