Kenilworth residents are being invited to find out more about the planned redevelopment of the school sites at Leyes Lane and Rouncil Lane.

The two sites will have houses built on them, once Kenilworth School has completed the move to its new home on Glasshouse Lane.

Warwick District Council, along with architect Atkins Global, will be holding more community engagement events this month, having already hosted one at the start of the year.

These events will be held at the current school sites:

• Leyes Lane School: Saturday 11 March, 9.30am – 12.30pm
• Rouncil Lane School: Thursday 16 March, 5pm – 8pm

The council said the new estates will have a mix of one to four bed homes including affordable homes.

Both sites are allocated for residential development within the current local plan.

Cllr Jan Matecki, portfolio holder for housing, said: "This is another early opportunity for local residents to discuss the development of this part of Kenilworth with us, and help us be confident that the development is both sympathetic to the area and sustainable for future generations."

Atkins Global added: "As Warwick District Council look to develop the former school sites, following completion of the new Kenilworth Secondary School at Southcrest Farm, we will ensure that the District has the right amount, quality and mix of housing to meet future needs by ensuring new housing development is in locations which enable sustainable lifestyles."
