'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.
