Modern 'wayfinding' signs could be installed across Kenilworth if plans are signed off by Warwick District Council.

Following months of work, Kenilworth Town Council has submitted a planning application to install 12 new signposts to key spots across the town centre.

Plans show some of the signs would be near the station, while others could be placed around the perimeter of Abbey Fields.

The application submitted to WDC said the project aims to connect the old and new parts of the town "through a unified family of signs" which will provide "clear and precise information to visitors".

As part of the scheme the current "out of date" fingerpost signs would be removed to "help declutter the streetscape".

"The impact is to introduce new wayfinding totems and posts into the public realm, to aid with navigation around the town," the application said. 

"By highlighting key destinations and showing that these are all within walking distance will encourage visitors to stay longer and explore further."

Councillors hope the new signs will be approved and put in place by the end of March alongside the new 'Welcome to Kenilworth' signs.

Speaking at least week's full KTC meeting, leader of the council Cllr James Kennedy said: "I would like to pay particular thanks to Cllr Alix Dearing and Cllr Rob Barry for the large amount of time they have put into this exercise."

He added: "We are keeping our fingers crossed that when they are eventually printed there will be no spelling mistakes!"

The council's planning committee has already supported the application.
