Leicestershire County Council has given its in-principle agreement towards the Landowner’s proposed package of early interventions and traffic calming in Barkby and Barkby Thorpe. These include:
Introduction / extension of 20mph speed limits through Barkby and Barkby Thorpe.
Gateway features at each end of Barkby and Barky Thorpe villages, where not already provided, and at Beeby Road, Scraptoft.
Speed limit reductions on Barkby Thorpe Lane and Barkby Thorpe Road between the Development and Barkby Thorpe.
In accordance with the Highways Delivery Strategy (and any relevant approved Highways Delivery Reviews).
Included in later phases of the scheme are a further multimillion-pound package of further transport improvements which will provide a north-west link road between Barkby Lane/the A607 with a bridge across the railway line to reduce vehicle movements in the villages and a southern link road with an extension and improvements to Hamilton Park.
