Support the identification of Radford Semele as one of the five Primary Service Villages as:
-Radford Semele is one of the largest villages in the District with a population of nearly 2000, and just over 800 dwellings.
-It lies close to Leamington Spa but is physically separate from it, having its own identity and its own community.
-As a settlement it is largely self sufficient for day to day things, having a Post Office, local shop, newsagent, hairdresser, primary school and nursery.
-There are some employment opportunities within the village, but also good public transport links to both Leamington Spa and Southam where a wider range of employment is available, together with further shopping facilities.
-There is a good variety of social activities available within the village which encourages community spirit and limits the need or desire to travel elsewhere for entertainment (i.e. White Lion Public House, Recreation Ground, Church).
