The Kenilworth Clock Tower has been out of operation for several months, leaving a vital community landmark in disrepair. James Moore & Co & First Class Watches, a Kenilworth-based jewellery and watch business, has previously offered to sponsor the clock's restoration and ensure its continued maintenance, but this has been hindered by its inclusion in a combined maintenance tender for multiple clocks across the district.

We believe that delegating responsibility for the Kenilworth Clock Tower to Kenilworth Town Council would provide a more focused and community-driven approach. This would allow local businesses, such as ours, to step in and support its restoration. Modernising the clock (where permissible) could also improve its reliability and reduce maintenance challenges associated with its specialist flatbed mechanism.

The clock tower is a symbol of Kenilworth’s identity and should be restored to full working order for the benefit of residents and visitors alike. We urge Warwick District Council to take action and make this transition possible.
