ROADWORKS

Our Highways Team are working with UHCW to improve access to the Hospital.

The work will see us improve the exit to the site to help people get in and out quicker and safer. Work has started today and will last for a few days.

Thanks for your patience.

Meanwhile over at my old stomping ground there’s a new leader …

Warwickshire County Council leader Cllr George Finch gave a brief speech after winning today's leadership battle on the casting vote

Didn't take questions

[David Lawrence @WriterLawro]

Excellent meeting with the leader of @coventrycc this afternoon and I’m looking forward to holding the city’s elected councillors to account when I start my new role in earnest tomorrow. #LDR #journalism

[David Lawrence @WriterLawro]

It will also give me an opportunity to seek out a suitable picture for the profile. Sorry @EHKenilworth but your time is up!

[David Lawrence @WriterLawro]

Heading into the city centre tomorrow to meet @coventrycc leader Cllr George Duggins and to get a tour of the council house ... looks impressive from what I've seen.

All change on the work front. Having left the world of politics two years ago to write about grown men kicking a bag of air around, the lure of the council chamber proved too much! As of today I am the guy trying to hold those at Coventry City Council to account. Wish me luck 🍀

Not what I expected when I sat down to eat on my Dad Taxi trip to Wales! 😁
