What could the Parishes of Tamworth look like?

At this stage the town could be split into any number of parishes. These could include:

• Ten parish councils based on the ten wards of Tamworth Borough Council

• Five parish councils based on the five county council divisions

• Three parishes covering the whole of the current borough

• One giant parish council to cover the whole of the borough 

• One model that is gaining in popularity is having seven parishes to cover the borough based on the old parishes of Tamworth dissolved in the 1970's. These could be named:

  • • Tamworth Town Council (a parish council covering the town centre and immediate residential areas)

    • Dosthill & Two Gates Parish Council

    • Wilnecote & Castle Liberty Parish Council

    • Amington & Stonydelph Parish Council

    • Bolehall & Glascote Parish Council

    • Coton Parish Council (a parish council covering the modern Mercian ward and part of Spital ward)

    • Bitterscote & Dunstall Parish Council
