The Leicestershire County Council has been commissioned by Sainsbury PLC. to consult on a proposed puffin crossing and a raised table as a consequence of a planning obligation for their store on Nottingham Road.

The proposals are as shown on Drawing No.4479.000/Z1/1/4, and include a signal controlled pedestrian crossing on Nottingham Road, a raised table on The Crescent and an alteration to the radius at the junction of The Crescent with Nottingham Road. The proposed location of the crossing is based on the outcome of pedestrian surveys. Locating it between Welby Lane and The Crescent means it will cater for several crossing movements. It would also be located between the existing Kipling Drive and Sainsbury’s crossings. Siting the crossing nearer Tesco would move it outside people’s homes, require the relocation of the existing bus stops and put it too close to the crossing near Kipling Drive. Siting the crossing between Welby Lane and The Crescent would also help motorists turning out of the side roads when the lights turn red.

The speed table and radius alteration will control speeds near to the The Crescent junction mouth and will make it safer for pedestrians to cross the side road. The speed table will provide a focal point for people to cross The Crescent where the carriageway is narrower, compared to the existing dropped kerbs immediately within the wide junction mouth.
