Highlighting how the council has strengthened its foundations to deliver better outcomes for the long term, the annual report champions a year of laying foundations for the revitalisation of the town centre with investment and action, alongside safeguarding the environment through the climate change adaptation plan.
Key achievements:
- New Rugby Development Local Plan progressing well to protect the environment and promote sustainable development
- Major progress with Town Centre regeneration including £5m investment for major projects and public realm improvements
- 5,451 native trees supplied to local farmers
- 99.9% of bins collected throughout 2025
- Expansion of Council housing stock with 100 new homes at Navigation Way all rated EPC A or B
- £21m investment in a Warm Homes initiative for vulnerable residents
Cllr Michael Moran, Leader of Rugby Borough Council, said: “2025 was a year of major progress for the Council, and I am proud to be sharing our achievements in this report. Working cross-party we have focused on delivering for residents and local communities across a range of areas.
"Going forward, thanks to sound financial management, in addition to the town centre regeneration programme we are able to invest over £3m in projects that will see real benefits in neighbourhoods across the Borough; from upgrades to local parks to grants for local sports clubs and village halls.”
Cllr Jerry Roodhouse, Chair of the Town Centre Working Group, said: “Our Town Centre has experienced major reinvestment as a result of grants we have secured this year, and I am extremely proud of the progress we have made.
"Across the Council, we have worked hard to improve the services our residents rely on, cutting waiting times and reducing call volumes so vulnerable residents get the help they need more quickly. By modernising and improving these services, we are building a council fit for the future.”
