Leicester Park and Ride to close

Service will run until 7pm on 27th March.

Leicester’s Park and Ride sites are to close at the end of the week until further notice.

The Birstall, Enderby and Meynell’s Gorse services, which are jointly run by Leicester City Council and Leicestershire County Council, will run until 7pm on Friday (27 March).

The number of people using the service to travel into the city has reduced since the prime minister’s recent announcements to tackle the spread of coronavirus.

Leader of Leicestershire County Council, Nick Rushton said: "This is a challenging situation, we’re doing everything we can as a council and it remains vital that residents follow Government advice as it is clarified. We all need to play our part to stop the spread of coronavirus and save lives."
