The latest delay to works for a new roundabout in Kenilworth has seen the build now pushed back until May.

Works to create the new junction at the entrance to Stoneleigh View on Glasshouse Lane were due to begin on March 16, but construction is yet to start.

The new junction, which will also include the entrance to Stansfield Grove, was expected to be built in 2024, but has repeatedly been put back.

Eventually a four-arm roundabout with "footway and cycleway facilities" connecting to those already being built along Glasshouse Lane will be built.

The March start date had already been pushed back until April, but now the Warwickshire County Council website states the works are due to begin on May 20.

The works would last until early December.

Local Liberal Democrat councillors have previously stated the works will cost £1 million.

"This matters because it needs to be safer for school students walking or cycling to/from the school on this part of Glasshouse Lane," the group said earlier this month

"It'll also be safer for local residents using Oakley Road. Sadly these works will coincide with the closure of Dalehouse Lane until 2027 for HS2 works.

"We'll continue to push for the council's agreement with the contractor to be signed and the works started as soon as possible. We'll also keep residents informed of what's happening."
