Report: Parish Council Round-up March 2026
The Parish Council met on the 30th of March in the Pavilion.
Housing Needs Survey
The housing needs survey has been delivered, thank you to those who distributed the copies and to those who have filled it in and returned it. If you did not receive a survey please contact us.
The survey is not just for Brailes folk but anyone, especially those with a local connection, wishing to reside in the parish. If you know someone who may need a step down property (bungalow or otherwise) or a young person in search of a first house or flat please let them know so we can include their voices.
School Safety Zone
Works for the school safety zone have been ordered, you may have spotted “School Zone” painted at the bottom of Sutton lane. Flashing lights indicating a 20mph zone at school drop off and pick up times are next to be installed. The Parish Council is inquiring as to why road markings have not yet been painted along the main road too.
We are pleased to hear that funding has been sourced for a lollipop person before more permanent traffic calming measures can be installed.
Keeping warm
With any luck by the time this is published we’ll be less dependent on our heating however if you or someone you know is struggling to keep up with rising heating costs the Local Welfare Scheme run by Warwickshire County Council could help. Alternatively the Brailes Charities will consider one off payments for those in an emergency.
Local Welfare Scheme: 0800 4081 448

If purchasing oil we have been advised the cheapest way is to buddy up with a neighbour to arrange delivery at the same time to save on costs.
Parking Outside School
The PC would again like to urge those dropping children off for school to use the village hall car park. There is a path that was installed from the car park to the school gates for the purpose of preventing traffic congestion and more importantly to keep children safe and off the roadside.
Meetings Dates
As always all are welcome to attend our meetings and raise a topic for discussion. May is the annual village meeting, so for a good summary of what has been going on in the village over the past year please do come along! Following on is the PC’s AGM which you are also welcome to stick around for.
