Kenilworth planning roundup: HS2, Abbey Fields and roadworks
Here are the biggest Kenilworth planning stories from the past week.
HS2 Compound Plans
HS2 says it has made changes to its plans to expand its compound next to the A46, following a public consultation.
The high speed rail developer first revealed the scheme in April 2022, stating it intended to temporarily grow the site to 30 hectares.
It wants to develop Highways England's former site on Stoneleigh Road to use it as a compound for the next four years.
-------------
Abbey Fields
Councillors have called for answers over the continued delays to the new swimming pool in Abbey Fields.
Having been put back originally as Warwick District Council (WDC) finalised the contracts for the project, it has further stalled following the archaeological discoveries under the old leisure centre.
But with no announcement having been made on when work will start on building the new pool, local Liberal Democrats have urged the council to keep local residents informed.
-------------
Roadworks
Roads around St John's roundabout in Kenilworth will be closed at the end of June for resurfacing, the council has confirmed.
The closures will be in place between 9.30am and 3.30pm between Monday June 26 and Friday 30.
In addition, the one-way traffic flow on Warwick Road, (southbound slip-road), will be temporarily reversed.
