Firms fear new parking rules will drive away trade

Traders are concerned plans to expand a residents' parking scheme in Leicester will have a negative impact on their businesses.

Leicester City Council is looking at expanding its residents on-street parking permit scheme to two new areas around Evington Road and between Bidulph Street and St Peter's Road.

Business owners in the Evington Road area say the scheme will leave limited parking spaces for customers and make deliveries more difficult.

Leicester City Council has said it listened to traders' concerns and altered the scheme to provide more parking and loading areas as a result.
