Doncaster Road resident parking

Overview

In 2019, Leicester City Council worked closely with Belgrave Ward Councillors to introduce a one-way system and other traffic features to prevent anti-social parking on Doncaster Road, Down Street and Halkin Street.

Despite this, a number of parking difficulties have continued in the area. The majority of these issues relate to finding parking spaces, with business vehicles, commuters and other visitors to the area taking up a significant number of the parking spaces that are available.

To address these issues, the council is proposing a residents' parking scheme for the area. This proposed scheme aims to mitigate parking congestion by creating distinct parking zones for residents and businesses. The proposed scheme would operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and includes dedicated areas for short-term parking for shoppers and loading bays for local businesses.

A detailed plan outlining the proposed scheme is attached below:
