Hawkesbury Village is in Warwickshire, England and is located within the Coventry–Bedworth urban area. It borders the city of Coventry at its southern point. It is situated within the Poplar Ward of the Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council area, approximately 1.5 miles southeast of Bedworth town centre, though its post town remains Coventry given the CV6 postcode. Until around 1999, it consisted of three streets with approximately 140 houses and a population of 250. Housing developments have now increased the number of houses to approximately 740 with an adult population of 1,147, this detail being taken from Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council’s property and elector count. This specific area has previously been referred to as a number of different locations, including Exhall, Longford, Tackley, Little Bayton and Black Horse Road. Due to these anomalies, it was felt that the area should be given a specific identity. Towards the start of 2005, contact was made between Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council and Warwickshire County Council regarding signage for the area, which is defined as being between the Hawkesbury Lane railway crossing on Black Horse Road, where Hawkesbury Lane station used to be, and the humpback bridge over the Coventry Canal, alongside Hawkesbury Junction, where the Oxford Canal starts. Following consultation, Warwickshire County Council reached the decision that this area should be known as Hawkesbury Village. The Member of Parliament for Hawkesbury Village is Dan Byles, the borough councillors are Bob Copland and John Glass. The county councillor is Julie Jackson. In August 2005, the Hawkesbury Village Residents' Association was formed to act as a voice of the community and assist with local issues. ==External links== * (Hawkesbury Village Residents Association website ) * (Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council website ) * (Warwickshire County Council Website ) * (Photos of Hawkesbury and surrounding area on geograph.org.uk ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hawkesbury Village」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
