Director, Monica Fogarty

Communities Group brings together the business units responsible for Transport and Highways, Localities and Community Safety, Sustainable Communities and Public Health.

We employ among others planners, civil engineers, mechanical engineers, landscape architects, economists, accountants, countryside rangers, bus drivers, tree surgeons and school crossing patrols. Much of our work is carried out in partnership with other agencies as the best way to provide for the people of Warwickshire.

We have staff based locally throughout the county in offices, business centres, parks and depots.

  • Localities & Community Safety Business Unit

    We work to protect individuals and communities from harm, to empower communities to contribute to the development and choice of services and to protect and provide access to Warwickshire’s heritage. The services covered are Archaeology, Community Safety, County Records, Drug and Alcohol Action, Ecology, Emergency Management, Flood Risk Management, Localities and Partnerships, Museums, Trading Standards and Youth Justice.

  • Public Health Business Unit

    We address the overall health needs of the population of Warwickshire.  This involves monitoring the health status of the population, identifying health needs, emergency planning provision, controlling communicable diseases, immunisation and vaccinations programmes, screening for early disease, health improvement, and developing policies for and evaluating healthcare provision.  Importantly, it is about preventing illness and promoting health to reduce the need for hospital or long term healthcare.

  • Sustainable Communities Business Unit

    We work to provide a blueprint for growth in jobs and the development of communities and the quality of life within those communities. The work is delivered through close working with partners especially the Local Enterprise Partnership and the Unit covers Planning and Development, Regeneration Projects and Funding, Local Enterprise Partnership Delivery, Waste Management, Gypsies and Travellers and Rural Services.

  • Transport and Highways Business Unit

    We work to ensure Warwickshire has a sustainable transport network which meets the current and future needs of residents, visitors and businesses in Warwickshire. This includes maintenance of the public highway, including rights of way, provision of socially necessary transport not provided commercially, school and adult specialist transport, management and maintenance of the County Council’s fleet of vehicles, road safety, traffic projects, design and construction of new transport infrastructure and management of road openings by public utilities.
