Councillors have welcomed the news of a major funding boost for renovation plans at Kenilworth's skate park.

Kenilworth Town Council has been working towards revamping the Castle Farm facility over a number of years, engaging with local youngsters who use the area on a regular basis.

As plans move forward, the council has now secured an initial £150,000 in funding from its colleagues at Warwick District Council.

Speaking at the most recent KTC meeting, Cllr Andrew Milton said: "There is good news we have secured the earmarking of £150,000 of district council budget towards the renovation of the skate park at Castle Farm.

"That is half the cost that we need.

"At some point there may be a discussion with the CIL group about CIL funds.

"But it is pleasing that we have got a really big chunk of that funding earmarked from the district council.

"That is really good news."

In the summer of 2022 the town council approved a £5,000 spend to start designing the makeover for the skate park.

The council has not confirmed when renovation works will begin.
