Kenilworth residents have just a few days remaining to have their say on where a possible new crossing should be built near Kenilworth Castle.

The town council has been working with English Heritage and Warwickshire County Council to improve pedestrian access to the tourist attraction and has identified three potential options for where a crossing could be built.

As previously reported by Kenilworth Nub News, the Castle Road crossing could cost up to £85,000 and was included in the 2018 local plan.

"At the moment, we are looking at the three possible broad locations for a crossing or crossings, and looking at the feasibility of these," Kenilworth Town Council said.

"Each has advantages and disadvantages which are being investigated (e.g. visibility and/or the need to add a pathway across historic ruins).

"At this early stage, we are interested to hear residents' and visitors views about whether you would like to see a crossing or crossings, and if so, where you believe the best location is."

The town council has launched a survey for locals to share their views.

But residents only have until January 22 to complete this.

The possible options are:

  • Option A – a crossing at Castle Green from near the Queen & Castle to near the car park
  • Option B – a crossing at the Ford across to the Castle grounds
  • Option C – a crossing at or near the current vehicular entrance to the Castle
