The much-delayed works to create a new roundabout for a new Kenilworth housing estate are expected to begin this month.

Works to create the new junction at the entrance to Stoneleigh View on Glasshouse Lane are due to begin on March 16, the Warwickshire County Council (WCC) website said.

The new junction, which will also include the entrance to Stansfield Grove, was expected to be built in 2024, but has repeatedly been put back.

The council website states the four-arm roundabout will also have "footway and cycleway facilities" connecting to those already being built along Glasshouse Lane.

Works are due to last until October and traffic lights will be in place for much of that time.

Explaining the delays to the works last year, a spokesperson for WCC told Nub News: "The priority junction has been delayed by needing additional service diversions.

"We are not permitted to commence the work on Stansfield roundabout until that work is complete.

"Also, the work will now need to be retendered due to contractual reasons.

"Therefore, work is unlikely to start before the New Year."
