Overview

Leicester City Council is proposing to implement a 20mph Zone in the Knighton Fields Area of Leicester.

As part of this project it is proposed to reduce the speed limit in the area from 30mph to 20mph. It is also proposed to install traffic calming (road humps and speed cushions) outside The Lancaster School and Sir Jonathan North Community College on Knighton Lane East, and speed cushions on Knighton Fields Road East and Wordsworth Road.

Why your views matter

Leicester City Council is consulting to obtain the views of residents and businesses within the area. The results of the consultations will be analysed and presented in a report which will make recommendations about whether and if so how the scheme will procede.
