Roadworks around Warwick's St Johns junction have "run well to date", the council has said.

Work around the busy junction has paused for the Christmas period, having started in October.

Most of the parking spaces have been made available and the carriageway outside the shops will remain open - now one-way only.

The footway works directly outside the business frontages along the full length of the footway up to The Paddocks junction have been completed. 

There remains a "small amount" of work to be done just off the Paddocks where the welfare unit is currently housed. 

This work is expected to be completed at the end of the week. 

Cllr Jennifer Warren, portfolio holder for transport and planning, said: "I have been pleased to see that the scheme has run well to date with the work running to schedule.

"Similarly, communication with local residents and businesses has been excellent.

"Works are always slightly disruptive but, to mitigate against this, we can make sure that we maintain a flow of information."

In January, works will continue around the end of Smith Street, Priory Road and the main St Johns crossroads until March 2026.
