Wathen Road in Warwick stays closed for gas works until the middle of December, and new temporary traffic lights go up on Hatton Hill and Grassington Avenue in Woodloes Park from today. Here are the Warwick roadworks for the half-term week starting Monday 26 October, from the national Street Manager roadworks system, where every utility company and the county council has to register its works.
