TEMPORARY parking restrictions will be introduced on some residential streets in Leicester from next week as part of a rolling programme of street cleaning and gully clearance.
The city council will be targeting 45 roads in neighbourhoods across the city where heavy parking makes routine and street drain clearance difficult.
Each of the roads will have parking restrictions suspended for up to two days while works are carried out.
The programme of work will begin on Monday 2 March on Ivy Road, Noel Street and Wolverton Road, in the Narborough Road area.
The teams will then move on to other busy roads over the next three weeks.
Martin Fletcher, Leicester City Council director of highways, said: “This extended programme of targeted of street and gully clearance will focus on residential roads where heavy parking can make it difficult to carry out this work under normal circumstances.
It’s an important part of our rolling programme of routine maintenance that helps to provide safer and cleaner roads and highways as well as helping to reduce the risk of flooding in the city.
“We will be writing to all residents in the roads affected to inform that that parking will be temporarily suspended for up to two days while we undertake this vital work.”
