Connecting Leicester: City Centre Improvements – King Street

Overview

This consultation is on the proposed changes to King Street

The objective is to link New Walk to Newarke Street, The Magazine and De Montfort University.  The route will continue from New Walk over King Street and towards Newarke Street

In order to do this - King street will be closed to motorised traffic using automated bollards at the junction of King Street/Marlborough Street.  A second set of automated exit bollards at the junction of King Street/Belvoir St/Wellington Street.  Fixed bollards (or other street furniture) will also need to be installed to prevent vehicles bypassing the automatic bollards.  The alignment of the kerb at both entry and exit points may be needed in order to assist with the operation.

The plan for this proposal is available for download below.

This proposal features as part of the City Mayor's Connecting Leicester project.
