A section of Station Road in Kenilworth has been painted bright yellow.

It's been closed to motorists since the Covid-19 pandemic and was permanently pedestrianised in 2023.

It's now been given a bright lick of paint, labelled on social media as 'Custard Corner'.

蜜芽传媒 CWR's Dan Sambell has been to check it out and see what the locals think.

A spokesperson for Warwickshire County Council said: "The initial closure of Station Road, Kenilworth was funded by Government and implemented to assist with social distancing and encourage outdoor seating during the COVID-19 pandemic.

"When restrictions were lifted, it was identified that the area would still benefit from improvements to further enhance the space for pedestrians, so 拢42,000 was allocated from the Delegated Budget* to renew and refresh the old road surface; the yellow surfacing was chosen as the most cost-effective option.

"While some drop kerbs are placed for wheeled mobility users, this particular kerb is lowered to manage drainage issues around the estate agent's side door, which has a low threshold. Additional drop kerbs are in place to allow access for wheeled mobility users.

"The planned works are now complete although WCC may look to install tree guards in the coming months."
