Here are three of the latest planning and development stories from around Leamington.

A46 'bridge to nowhere'

New photographs showing progress at the much-delayed and over budget A46 Stoneleigh Junction have been released by Warwickshire County Council.

The local authority says the recent wet weather has not slowed progress at the 'bridge to nowhere' development.

This weekend, will see Stoneleigh Road closed as part of the works.

"Since the start of 2026, the site team have persevered with earthworks in record-breaking rain and concreting in record-breaking heat," an update said.

"The photographs below show some of the work which is now being buried as the ground level is built up to support the new carriageway."

Frozen yoghurt shop

The official opening date for Leamington's new American-inspired frozen yoghurt shop has been revealed.

Yo the Go will open its doors on Regent Street in the town on Saturday, 7 November.

The store, which will sell six different flavours of frozen yoghurt, was inspired by the owner of the store, Brad, and his trips to America, where he noticed a missed opportunity for similar stores in the UK.

Speaking to Nub News, Brad said: "Frozen yoghurt is something that is quite niche and something the town hasn't yet explored, so I felt there was a gap in the market for it here."

Halifax bank

Decommissioning works have been approved following the closure of a Leamington town centre bank branch.

Halifax Bank on Parade officially closed this October, citing a significant shift in customer banking habits towards digital services.

Halifax said the decision followed a review of how customers access banking services, with most now using mobile banking, online banking, or telephone services rather than visiting a physical branch.

Now, work to remove the site's modern banking infrastructure, corporate branding, and associated fixtures, together with the reinstatement of affected areas, has been approved.
