Labour councillors Maggie O’Rourke and Leader Cllr Claire Edwards put forward a motion calling on Tory council leader Michael Stokes to make ‘urgent representations’ to the Department for Transport to secure funding for the station.

The final motion reads: “The council will continue to work with all parties, including Warwickshire County Council (as the Transport Authority), the DfT and developers, to secure any funding available that will improve and add to the transport links in Rugby whilst also ensuring that the existing Rugby Station is not adversely impacted and the surrounding infrastructure continues to receive investment.”
