A new speed hump could be installed on a busy road in Warwick town centre, if plans are signed off by Warwickshire County Council.

Residents can have their say on the plans for West Street, near the car park entrance for Warwick Castle.

If approved, the hump would be built on West Street between the junctions with Warwick Castle Drive and Tudor Court.

A report on the council's website said: "The scheme will help improve the environment for residents, pedestrians and cyclists, by restricting vehicle speeds and improving road safety, as well as providing a step-free informal crossing point for pedestrians."

The hump would also see the existing 'pedestrian refuge' in the middle of the carriageway removed and replaced.

Locals have until January 11 to have their say.
