WE ARE: Local residents and representatives from environmental, conservation, ethnic, religious and community groups, police, fire, ambulance, health and libraries as well as Borough and County councillors for West Bridgford. If you represent a West Bridgford group not listed below, please get in touch.


West Bridgford currently has no Town or Parish Council
The WBLAF is the only place where groups and residents regularly meet with West Bridgford councillors. The rest of Rushcliffe has Town and Parish councils, the WBLAF is a consultative body for County & Borough issues relating to West Bridgford.

The Local Government Review for Nottinghamshire will see the replacement of Rushcliffe Borough and the County Council by a new unitary (single tier) authority. West Bridgford will either be part of an expanded city, or a new single tier county-wide authority.

A Town Council similar to others across Rushcliffe would help keep decision making local within these new structures.
We are therefore working for a Community Governance Review towards setting up a Town Council.
To make this happen, a formal petition is now being launched. Please click or tap here to sign the petition.
