There's been a mixed reaction to works to simplify a major road junction in Leicester.

The Fiveways interchange where the A50 reaches the city centre cost more than ten-million pounds and led to a year of road closures.

The City Council says the works will make the junction easier and safer to use. Martin Fletcher, city council director of highways, said the Fiveways work was "the final piece of that jigsaw".

The work to the junction linking Blackbird Road, Woodgate, Fosse Road North, Groby Road and Buckminster Road was finished in August. The final phase of work in Woodgate and Northgate Street followed this and has now been completed.

The city council said the project was funded by the Leicester and Leicestershire Enterprise Partnership and the government's Transforming Cities fund.
