For the year ended 31st March, 2019, these documents will be available on reasonable notice on application to the Town Clerk, Town Hall, Parade, Leamington Spa CV32 4AT (telephone 01926 450906 email clerk@leamingtonspatowncouncil.gov.uk

Local Government Electors and their representatives also have:-

The Auditor can be contacted at the address below for this purpose between the above specified dates only.
