On Diwali Day, Saturday 17th October, Belgrave Road, including the flyover, will be closed to traffic from 6.00pm until 9.30pm. Please note that on this day the emergency services and Leicester City Council will need to maintain two clear routes through the Belgrave area for emergency vehicles.
The routes are: Holden Street, Ross Walk, MacDonald Road, Hildyard Road, Marjorie Street, Abbey Park Street, Harrison Road, Surrey Street, Doncaster Road, Cossington Street, Rothley Street, Rendell Road and Portsmouth Road. Any vehicles parked on these roads, which will be marked on both sides with ‘no waiting’ cones, will be towed away. Any vehicles causing an obstruction on any of the side streets leading onto Belgrave Road will also be towed away. In addition to a fixed penalty, owners will be charged to recover their vehicles. A daily fee will be charged for keeping vehicles for up to 21 days, after which they will then be sold.
To receive a programme and road closure information in large print or in Hindi, Gujarati or Punjabi, please contact 0116 252 7000.
Finally, wishing you a happy and prosperous Diwali from all involved in the 2009 Diwali Celebrations.
