In the UK the clocks go back 1 hour at 2am on the last Sunday in October.
When the clocks go back, the UK is on Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
Warwickshire County Council this week (14th October) expressed its preference on the future form of local government for Warwickshire to be a single unitary council.
“Under Government plans for Local Government Reorganisation, Warwick District Council, Stratford-on-Avon District Council, Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council, Rugby Borough Council, North Warwickshire Borough Council and Warwickshire County Council will be abolished on 1 April 2028. They will be replaced by either one single unitary council for Warwickshire or two unitary councils – one for the North and one for the South – with each authority responsible for all services for its part of the county.”
