Public notices serve as vital dispatches, acting as the community’s window into the significant decisions and developments poised to reshape the urban and suburban fabric of Leicester. These official announcements, diligently compiled from various local media outlets, offer residents crucial insights into planned changes that directly impact daily life, ranging from new business operations to significant infrastructure projects.
Among the most prominent updates this week is an application for a new nightclub premises licence in Leicester city centre. This proposed establishment seeks extensive operating hours, specifically requesting permission from Leicester City Council to serve alcohol, play music, and remain open until 3:30 AM on Sunday through Thursday, extending to 4 AM on Fridays and Saturdays. For special occasions like Bank Holidays, Boxing Day, and New Year’s Eve, the venue aims for an even later closing time of 5 AM, promising to significantly alter the city’s nightlife Leicester landscape.
Significant road infrastructure changes are also on the horizon, with Newstead Road, located off Knighton Road in Leicester, slated for an extended closure. Leicester City Council has confirmed this essential thoroughfare will be inaccessible to traffic from Sunday, August 3rd, with reopening anticipated by Sunday, August 24th. This measure is primarily implemented for public safety, ensuring necessary works can be carried out without risk to commuters or construction personnel.
Further affecting transportation for residents will be a series of closures related to the Melton Mowbray Distributor Road project. This substantial undertaking necessitates shutting various roads in the vicinity, commencing Tuesday, August 5th, with some closures potentially lasting up to three months. These disruptions are crucial for the progression of this major city development, aimed at improving regional connectivity.
In terms of property news and urban expansion, plans have been submitted for the conversion of empty commercial premises into four new flats in Wigston. This proposed residential development has been highlighted in the public notice portal due to its potential impact on the character and appearance of a designated conservation area, inviting public scrutiny and feedback on the proposed changes.
Adding to the list of licensing updates, the Grosvenor Casino on Highcross Street in Leicester is seeking an extended converted casino licence. This request aims to allow the establishment to accommodate a greater number of gaming machines, without proposing any physical alterations to the existing premises. Such applications underscore the ongoing evolution within the entertainment sector of Leicester.
