Warwick District Council

Warwick District Council this week got behind the push for two unitary authorities in Warwickshire – despite elected officials believing the government has made "a pig's ear" of the process.

Residents are being asked to join a campaign to get Network Rail to clear pigeon droppings from under their bridges in Warwick district.

Two Warwick roads are taking part in a district-wide trial which will see the verges mown just once a year.

Warwickshire County Council

Two thirds of Warwickshire's Reform UK councillors backed George Finch in a two-horse race to lead the group's bid to retain control of the county council.

That vote was triggered after Cllr Rob Howard stepped down as group and council leader after just 41 days.

As interim leader Cllr George Finch triggered controversy by demanding the Pride flag be removed from Shire Hall. Opposition councillors have criticised the teenager for "crying off" after not getting his way about the flag.

Reform maintained its control at Warwickshire County Council though with 19-year-old Cllr George Finch only narrowly voted in as the new leader this week.

The Lib Dems refused to blame absentees for the narrow defeat. Meanwhile the abstaining Conservatives rejected the blame for Reform retaking control.

Cllr Finch has said the other parties are "finished".

Months after receiving significant national and local media attention, the full cost of the works on 'Custard Corner' have been revealed.

Warwickshire County Council is to privatise the maintenance and replacement of its 300 bus shelters later this year.

New images show the works underway at the Asps housing estate to the south of Warwick and Leamington.
