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

Town councillors have called for better communication and coordination for road closures around Kenilworth, which they said threaten to "isolate" the town.

Town councillors have expressed their "serious exasperation and disappointment" at the lack of progress on improving safety measures on the roads around the new Kenilworth School.

One thousand leaflets will be handed out to residents moving into one of the hundreds of new-build houses being built across Kenilworth, thanks to a new initiative from Kenilworth Town Council.

Warwick District Council

The council's cabinet – the panel of Green and Labour councillors in charge of major service areas – this month approved the location and £8,000 of funding for the works to enable the move of Kenilworth Carnival.

Warwick District Council's customer service operations have officially relocated to the Royal Pump Rooms in Leamington Spa.

The biodiversity initiative No Mow May is set to return to Warwick district next month, despite it receiving a mixed reception in 2023.

A section of footpath in Abbey Fields will close for nearly two weeks, as construction works on the town's new swimming pools gets underway.

The local authority has officially moved out of its Riverside House headquarters, as plans to turn the building into homes move forward.

Warwickshire County Council

Works to install a series of new speed bumps along Kenilworth's Warwick Road are well underway.

The delayed new fire training centre in Warwickshire nudged a step closer after county councillors approved tweaked plans this month.

The A46 will be reduced to two lanes around Kenilworth for around four months as contractors work on the verges.

Kenilworth's Cherry Orchard Recycling Centre will be open later from the start of April, Warwickshire County Council has confirmed.

Work has been completed on the first part of the much-delayed Kenilworth to Leamington Spa (K2L) cycleway.

Continued delays to the £38 million roadworks at the A46's Stoneleigh junction have been blamed on supply issues, yet again.
