TEMPORARY parking restrictions will be in place on some residential streets in Leicester next week as part of a rolling programme of street cleaning and gully clearance.
The city council will be targeting 30 roads in parts of Belgrave, Rushey Mead, Spinney Hills and Westcotes, where heavy parking makes routine gully – or street drain – clearance difficult.
Each of the roads will have all parking suspended for up to two days while works are carried out.
Work will begin on Monday 24 March on Arbour Road, Kings Newton Street and parts of Eggington Street, Harrison Road and Olphin Street.
The teams will then move on to other busy roads over the next four days.
The work will be complete, and all temporary parking restrictions lifted, by the end of Friday 28 March.
Martin Fletcher, Leicester City Council director of highways, said: “This weeklong programme of targeted street cleaning and gully, or street drain clearance will focus on those roads where heavily parked up roads can make it difficult to carry out this work as part of our routine maintenance programme.
“It’s part of a rolling programme that helps to provide safer and cleaner roads and highways as well as minimising the risk of flooding in the city.
“We have written to all residents in the roads affected to inform them that parking will be temporarily suspended for up to two days while we undertake this work.”
