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

It will be a "long time" before houses are actually built on the two former Kenilworth School sites, the leader of the district council told town councillors this month.

Looking after the currently broken clock in the centre of Kenilworth, and the water feature at Abbey End may soon become the responsibility of the town council.

A new banking hub offering access to all major banks is due to open in Kenilworth later this year.

Land ownership issues are slowing down plans to turn a former Kenilworth landfill site into a public green space.

Warwick District Council

Local residents are being asked for their views on 36 potential new housing sites in south Warwickshire - 12 of which could see new settlements created.

Work to revamp a Kenilworth play area is set to start on Monday (February 3), five years after the project was due to begin.

Warwickshire County Council

A new facility designed to provide realistic training environments for Warwickshire's firefighters has officially opened in Rugby.

Work is well underway to pedestrianise a closed section of a Kenilworth town centre road.

An extra £16 million has been set aside for an already over-budget and much-delayed project to build a new bridge and roundabout at the A46 Stoneleigh junction - and that figure could rise yet further.

The ongoing delays and spiralling costs behind the A46 Stoneleigh Junction redevelopment are a "huge embarrassment" for the county council and its "financial incompetence" - councillors have said.

A proposed new single council for Warwickshire is to continue pushing for its own devolution package rather than link up with a bigger strategic authority. 

The leader of Warwickshire County Council expects to find out on Monday whether plans to create one new unitary council will be fast-tracked.
