Work on £1m road scheme agreed

Approval has been given for a £1m scheme to link new warehousing with a town's relief road.

The highways project will see a junction opposite Parkfield Road in Rugby opened up, so that lorries can access the development which was approved in March 2024.

All the money for the work will come from developers Total Developments (NW) Limited.

No timescale has been agreed yet.

As well as the work on the junction, the project will include the addition of extra pedestrian crossing facilities on the relief road and the widening of the existing footway to incorporate a cycle lane.

The warehouse development was first put forward in 2021 and Total Developments will also be responsible for "the cost of any unforeseen changes to the works and/or construction delays and over-runs of the scheme", the council said.
