Colnbrook with Poyle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Colnbrook with Poyle is a civil parish in the unitary authority of Slough in Berkshire, consisting of Colnbrook with Poyle. It is at the eastern end of the borough, and is just to the west of the M25 motorway, which separates the parish from Heathrow Airport in the London Borough of Hillingdon in Greater London. The parish had a population of 5,408.

The parish was formed on April 1, 1995. The Colnbrook part had previously been in the Iver parish of South Bucks in Buckinghamshire, whereas the Poyle part had been in the unparished borough of Spelthorne in Surrey (before 1974 forming part of the Staines Urban District of Surrey which had transferred from Middlesex in 1965). The 1995 transfer meant that Surrey and Buckinghamshire no longer have a border, whilst Greater London and Berkshire now do.
