Residents have until the start of March to have their say on plans to install a new cycle track along a busy Kenilworth road.

The scheme for Glasshouse Lane could also see a new road hump installed across Heyville Croft to carry the cycle link.

Warwickshire County Council is currently asking for feedback on the scheme which will connect to the new houses being built at Kenilworth Gate.

Plans show the cycle track would run alongside the existing footpath along Glasshouse Lane.

A council notice said: "As part of the approved plans in accordance with the outline planning permission for the development of dwellings off A452 Leamington Road, Kenilworth it is proposed to install a raised junction with priority crossing for pedestrians and cyclists on Heyville Croft at its junction with Glasshouse Lane, Kenilworth to provide a continuous crossing facility for pedestrians and cyclists.

"It is also proposed to install a segregated cycle track on Glasshouse Lane which will run adjacent to newly located footways and carriageway as part of the realignment of Glasshouse Lane."

Plans show this section of the segregated cycleway will run for around 160 metres along Glasshouse Lane.

The plans do not show where the cycle link will connect to the new homes at Kenilworth Gate.

Residents have until March 3 to feed back on the plans.
