Shops, cafes and bars should be able to benefit from two pedestrianisation schemes being introduced in Leicester early in 2023.
The city council hopes businesses will make the most of improvements to the main Narborough Road into the city, and Braunstone Gate, which branches off it.
The council wants to make both more pedestrian friendly, including cutting car access in Braunstone Gate – which has been a popular destination for drinkers and diners for several decades. Food outlets along it include Cedars Lebanese restaurant, Bombay Bites and Yumchi, along with bars Mood, the Dog House, The Metal Monocle and Natterjacks, and the Black Horse pub.
