A series of schemes are taking place across Leicester as part of a £275,000 project
Residential parking and a new footpath are being created in a series of schemes across Leicester.
The city council is carrying out the work to create new parking bays for residents in areas where concerns have been raised over the number of existing spaces.Drainage work will also be taking place in Donaldson Road, Belgrave, from 28 November.In the city's Abbey ward, six new parking pays are being created in a scheme at Garth Avenue.A new footpath between Hinckley Road and Ainsdale Road is also due to be created on a piece of unadopted land which has become a right of way over the years.
"In some cases, drivers have been parking on grass verges, which have then become churned up and muddy, so we're having to put in formal marked bays instead. "By making these changes we will be improving the situation of all road users including those walking, wheeling and cycling as cars can present a barrier to others when parked in a disorganised way."
