Grendon, Atherstone
It lies on the north-western tip of Warwickshire, divided from Leicestershire by a small stream and by the River Anker.However, there are several structures of age which remain, most notably the bridge over the River Anker, which in its current form dates back to 1633.As the ward is an old mining community it was considered a Labour safe seat until 2012, when the Conservatives gained power throughout North Warwickshire.The local newspapers covering the area are the Tamworth Herald, which has a separate edition for North Warwickshire and the Atherstone Recorder.Local commercial stations in the area include Hits Radio Coventry & Warwickshire and Capital Mid-Counties.The two former pubs in Grendon, The Black Swan (aka The Mucky Duck) and The Boot Inn have both now closed.
