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

Kenilworth Town Council is working with Kenilworth School & Sixth Form and local transport planning consultants The Transportation Consultancy to seek to improve road safety near the school.

The results of their survey have now been announced with significant issues in safety identified.

New signs telling HS2 drivers not to head through the centre of Kenilworth have been put in place after the previous ones were taken by 'scallywags'.

Nearly 1,000 locals gathered at Kenilworth Castle earlier this month (May 8) to mark the 80th anniversary of VE Day.

Warwick District Council

Business leaders in south Warwickshire have backed local development plans to have a positive impact on the regional economy.

Kenilworth residents, visitors, and park users are invited to share their views on "exciting new proposals" for Abbey Fields as part of the 'A Path for Our Future' public consultation.

A series of drop-in events have been announced to give locals a chance to find out more about the proposed new cycle paths.

Warwickshire County Council

After Reform's impressive showing at this month's elections, all eyes have been on the future at Warwickshire County Council.

Over a week after the results, Reform announced who their new Warwickshire leader would be.

Following that it was confirmed Reform UK will lead the local authority after being backed to take office by the Conservatives, but the new leader wasn't there to see it. 

That came after criticism from their opposition.

Liberal Democrats have promised to hold Reform UK to account as Nigel Farage's party takes control of Warwickshire County Council for the first time.

The new leader of Warwickshire County Council's Conservative group has defended supporting Reform UK into power despite knowing "very little" about their plans.

The councillor who oversaw Warwickshire's new fire service plans had to bite his tongue after a political rival revived the row on his return to Shire Hall.
