Overview

Leicester City Council is proposing to change the speed limit from 30mph to 20mph on Somerset Avenue and surrounding streets in the vicinity of Alderman Richard Hallam School.  To help reduce speeds, improve safety and discourage through traffic we are proposing to install traffic calming on Avebury Avenue, Somerset Avenue, and Cheltenham Road.

Why your views matter

The Transport Strategy Section is now consulting residents and other interested parties for their views on the proposed changes.  This consultation will be the basis on which the City Mayor will make his decision on whether to implement the scheme or not.
