Warwick District Council

A councillor who changed political parties mid-term has no intention to call a by-election despite her former leader arguing she should go back to the public. 

Contractors on site in Abbey Fields are still being forced to use bottled water as a supply of safe running water continues to be an issue.

District councillor Richard Dickson has continued to call for answers over the delays and growing costs to the county council's A46 Stoneleigh Island project.

Warwickshire County Council

The government has indicated it will move forward with a devolution deal for Warwickshire.

A diseased tree in Kenilworth is set to be cut down over the coming weeks.

The leader of Warwickshire County Council hopes scope for more independent decision making can help address financial challenges.

A Warwickshire councillor who outraged families with comments on SEND provision this month returned to the panel he had been removed from – with his leader's blessing.

A bridge in Bidford-upon-Avon will remain closed until the end of November after an Uber crashed into it in August.

Cabinet members have backed spending £13,864,000 on a major project to bring more electric buses to Warwickshire.
