Ravenhurst Primary School, Crossing Facilities & Advisory School 20mph Zone
Leicestershire County Council is proposing a scheme to improve crossing facilities of the Welcombe Avenue/Henley Crescent/Ravenhurst Road junction. The scheme involves footway resurfacing, flush pedestrian crossing points, a junction speed table and bus stop improvements, along with an advisory school 20mph zone.
Scheme construction is proposed to begin the week commencing the 13th of July 2009 and is anticipated to finish within eight weeks.
For the majority of the construction works it will be necessary to use three-way lights throughout the construction period. Access to properties and businesses will be maintained throughout the works. For the construction of the junction speed table, towards the end of the scheme, it will be necessary to implement a road closure and diversion route for a likely period of 2/3 days.
Should you have any queries about the above-mentioned scheme details or works please contact Mr Richard Clay on Leicester (0116) 3058246 and regarding the scheme identification Charlie Wardle on (0116) 3057273.

Braunstone Town Council has appealed for volunteers who are prepared to work with people in our area to help them understand climate change, how it impacts on them directly and how they can make a difference.
The Government says that Climate change, is the most serious challenge facing the world, and can only be tackled effectively if we all take action now.
They say that Parish and town councils, as the first tier of government, can play a substantial role in the drive to reduce the risks of climate change. More »
The Sustainable Energy and Climate Change Act 2006 gave parish and town councils specific powers in relation to local energy saving measures, which will reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change. Parish and town councils can promote and support community initiatives to reduce emissions. Taking action now not only reduces the impact on the environment, but saves the parish and town council money too. It is suggested that parish and town councils can work with their communities to secure a more sustainable future. Whatever their size or location, all town and parish councils have the potential to make a real difference.
A copy of the volunteers Job Description is available on our Web Site - follow the above link. « Less
