Here is a roundup of the biggest decisions that have been made by the local councils in the last month.

And for more local planning decisions, keep an eye out for our weekly updates published every weekend.

Kenilworth Town Council

Plans to create a "green corridor" between Kenilworth and Coventry have been met with scepticism by town councillors worried about the knock-on impact of the scheme.

Warwick District Council

Councillors have approved a 2.99 per cent rise in Warwick District Council's portion of council tax.

The councillor in charge of the future of the former Kenilworth School sites has hit back at the "completely false" accusations of corruption levelled at Warwick District Council officers.

Residents were warned the footpaths and play areas could be closed in Abbey Fields this week for works around the town's new swimming pools.

Cabinet has recommended a report to full council setting out a plan of action to improve the quality, safety and sustainability of its housing stock.

Schoolchildren and residents can now use a new piece of footpath along a busy Kenilworth road.

Private and social landlords are set to face a grilling from Warwickshire councillors over "horrific problems" reported to them about mould in homes.

A Warwickshire councillor who defected from Reform UK has lifted the lid on a nine-month civil war in which accusations of slander have been traded with the leadership.

Another revealed how George Finch's "synthetic" selection as leader seemed to be "more down to who had time to do the job than ability".

Adult social care in Warwickshire has received a 'good' rating by national watchdog the Care Quality Commission.

Families across Warwickshire have days to wait before they find out which secondary schools they have been allocated for the 2026 academic year. This comes after changes were approved to the way places are allocated.

Warwickshire County Council has finally set its budget for 2026-27 – but only after another unedifying squabble which saw Reform UK and the Conservatives axe the debate after one interrupted speech. The original budget setting meeting took 10 hours at the end of which no decision was made.
