New wayfinding signs will be installed across Warwick town centre, if plans are signed off by Warwick District Council.

Warwick Town Council has applied for planning permission to remove the existing finger posts from across the town to make way for a number of new information boards, signs and updated finger posts.

Thirty-one new signs have been proposed to make a "comprehensive pedestrian wayfinding strategy and signage design scheme" for Warwick.

The application says the new signs will help support the town become a "world class place in which to live, work and visit".

"Design influences from the mediaeval period combined with the strong historic and visual references of the architecture, castle and gardens underpin the overarching concept," the application said. 

"The design proposes to use sympathetic yet robust materials and finishes, developing a sensitive design that responds to the historical context of Warwick. 

"Key design features include visual reference to bronze and exposed fixing details that feature in structures around town. 

"The typeface proposed has been selected from historical research and past references found within the town. 

"The typeface respects the heritage of the town whilst simultaneously moving into a contemporary discourse." 

Plans say the signs will help encourage visitors to wander and explore Warwick.
