Warwick District Council is pleased to have the opportunity to make a submission to the Chancellor’s Commission on the 50th anniversary of the establishment of Warwick University.

Although the University campus straddles the border between Warwick District and Coventry City Council’s areas, this Council considers the University to be very much part and parcel of Warwick District not least because it is also home to many of the University’s employees, its students, and because its contribution to locally based businesses is significant. The contribution that the University makes to the life of Warwick District in all respects is welcomed and valued, notwithstanding that its presence also creates some issues.
