On Saturday 26 October BBC Midlands Today went to the Royal Priors Shopping Centre in Leamington with their cameras.


What's it all about?

The visit was part of BBC Midlands Today's major tour of the West Midlands and Warwickshire which asks local people to give their views and help make the news.

The central feature of the roadshow was Nick Owen's Chair.

People could sit in the chair and be filmed as they revealed a local news story.

Many views were expressed about the local area. The main complaints were about the changes to the bus service and the lack of activities for teenagers.

Traffic in Leamington was also a recurring issue, as was strong feeling against the proposed new airport.

We have taken photographs of everyone that had their say and have made a special gallery for the website.

Click the images button below to see all the Leamington people that decided to make the news.

The best news stories will also be followed up and featured in Midlands Today BBC ONE, weekdays at 6.30pm or on BBC local radio.
