Plans to create more disabled parking spaces in Leamington Spa have been revealed by Warwickshire County Council.

The local authority has shortlisted multiple roads for more blue badge spots and says the plan has come at the request of local residents.

"These requests have been made by the public and are to assist with accessibility and improve the flow of traffic where bays are no longer required," a council report said. 

"This has been assessed against the Warwickshire County Council's parking policies."

If approved, a new bay would be added on Lansdowne Circus.

The report continued: "The bay will be positioned to provide convenient proximity to key entrances and will be clearly designated to prevent inappropriate use. 

"Its implementation supports the broader objective of fostering an equitable and accessible environment for all users."

Other disabled spots could also be created on Rosefield Street and Grove Street.

The county council is also proposing more blue badge spots in Warwick under the same scheme.

Locals have until May 5 to object to the plans.
