Rugby Borough Council is the primary local authority serving the borough of Rugby. Serving more than one hundred thousand residents in a borough covering urban and rural populations, including extensive green belt, Rugby Borough Council is pro-growth and is one of the fastest growing boroughs in the country. Known as the birthplace of Rugby football, the borough is also a centre of literature and innovation. Previous residents include Lewis Carroll, Arthur Ransome, Rupert Brooke, and the inventors of the jet engine and holography, Frank Whittle and Denis Gabor.
Host to the Manufacturing Technology Centre and London Taxi Company’s electric vehicle centre at Ansty Park, Rugby continues to be a centre for innovation and advanced manufacturing. With growth potential still to be realised at two major growth sites on the urban edge, and investment opportunities in the town centre less than an hour from London, Rugby’s reputation for delivery looks set to continue.
