Loughborough Town Centre Transport Scheme

News September 2009

Following publication of the Compulsory Purchase and Side Roads Orders in December 2008 (click here for details of the Orders) a Public Local Inquiry is to be held by an Inspector appointed by the Secretary of State for Transport to hear representations from statutory objectors and, at his discretion, to hear representations from any other persons who may desire to appear and be heard.
The Public Inquiry beginning at 10.00 am on Tuesday 6 October 2009 will be held at Loughborough Town Hall, Market Place, Loughborough, LE11 3BE (click here for Town Hall location details)

The Scheme

The Proposals will:
  • Connect those parts of the town separated by the A6 to enhance development and regeneration of the town centre
  • Remove traffic from A6 Market Place by diverting traffic on to a new purpose built Inner Relief Road
  • Reduce accidents in the town centre
  • Provide a safe and attractive environment for pedestrians, cyclists and people with disabilities.
  • Provide high quality public transport waiting facilities and information systems
  • Help reduce traffic demand on the relief road and the town centre road network by carrying out related junction improvements on the Loughborough A6004 Ring Road at:

    a) Forest Road  (pdf, 390kb)
    b) Belton Road West Ext (pdf, 360kb)
Below is an artists' impression of what the town centre could look like once improvements have been completed and traffic removed from the A6.
