Locals are being asked to share their views on proposed changes to parking around St John's junction in Warwick.

Residents have until the middle of July to voice their opinions, as the county council presses ahead with a major roadworks project in the area.

Ultimately the scheme will see a new cycle route built from the Spinney Hill roundabout - where it will connect to the National Cycle Network Route 52 to Kenilworth - and the St John's junction on the edge of Warwick town centre. 

Work on parts of the scheme is already underway, but Warwickshire County Council is asking for feedback on certain parts of the plans around St John's.

In particular the council wants to hear feedback on plans to introduce no waiting at any time restrictions on parts of Priory Road, St Johns, Smith Street, St Nicholas Church Street and St Johns.

Another section of St John's could also become blue badge holder only.

"St Johns junction is a key gateway to Warwick town and is proposed to be reconfigured to accommodate increased vehicle flows between Priory Road and St Nicholas Church Street as an enabling project for the wider Warwick Town Centre traffic management changes which are proposed," the consultation said.

"The public realm outside the retail/commercial area is to be enhanced through rationalising of existing car parking and upgrading to meet current standards, reducing of street clutter, and updating signage, and cycle and pedestrian connectivity will also be improved and dedicated cycle parking provided."
