Evesham Road / Aylestone Road link will be debated

Our colleagues in the End of the Road campaign group succeeded in collecting over 1500 signatures in under a month in their petition (a fantastic achievement!) so there will be a full council debate about removing the road from the Leicester Local Plan on 4th October.

They are asking as many people as possible in as many different parts of the city as possible to lobby their councillors and ask them to speak against the road in the debate. They have sent a briefing to all the councillors, but they need to be encouraged to read and think about it by their own constituents. They are asking for 3 things: 1. That the council removes the road from the Leicester Local Plan 2. That the council also removes it from the map of possible future roads 3. That to show that they are committed to this, the council have a public consultation about what to do with the assets (land and buildings) it has retained with a view to building this road. Please take 5 minutes to read their notes and contact your councillors about this unnecessary road.
