A local road could see its speed reduced from national speed limit to 20mph if plans are signed off by Warwickshire County Council (WCC).

The local authority is currently asking for feedback on plans for multiple roads around Norton Lindsey.

If approved, the scheme would see five roads reduced to 20mph, four of which are currently 30mph limits.

However, Canada Lane's limit would be dropped from the national speed limit.

The consultation comes after a request by local councillor Jan Matecki.

"As a result of further investigations conducted into the area requested for the speed reduction, results showed that the mean speeds have met the criteria for reducing the speed limit to 20mph without having to install traffic calming measures," a WCC report said.

The streets impacted are:

• D5269 Church Road, Norton Lindsey - In its entirety from its junction with Snitterfield Lane. D5628 Main Street, Norton Lindsey - From its junction with New Road in a northwest direction for 305 metres. 
• C93 New Road, Norton Lindsey - From its junction with Main Street northwards for 45 metres.
• C93 Snitterfield Lane, Norton Lindsey - From its junction with Main Street and New Road in a southeast direction for 102 metres.
• D5270 Canada Lane, Norton Lindsey - For its entire length from its junction with Snitterfield Lane in an eastward direction. 

The report continued: "The reduced speed limit will help improve the environment for vulnerable road users, such as wheelchair users, horse riders, pedestrians and pedal cyclists as there are no footpaths in the village. 

"The village has a church and a public house which are used by residents and visitors to Norton Lindsey. 

"Motorists will be travelling at a slower speed, and therefore more aware of safety issues when driving through the village."

Locals have until 19 August 2025 to respond.
