Park & Ride Site Gets the Green Light ! (20/2/07)
Planning consent was issued by Leicestershire County Council on 20th February 2007 for the proposed Park & Ride Site at Enderby.We understand that the Secretary of State has decided not to call in the application which means that the scheme can now go ahead without the need for a Public Inquiry (Planning Application No. 2006/0967/01)

DATE SET FOR PARK AND RIDE WORK (21/2/08)
Work on the £9m scheme will start in the Autum of 2008.
More than 3,000 trees will be planted at a new £9million park and ride facility aimed at tackling congestion.
A total of 560m of new hedgerow, 300sq metres of shrubs and 3,060 trees will form part of a new park and ride site near Fosse Park due to open next year.
The joint City and County Council scheme will offer low-emission buses running every few minutes in Leicester city centre and reduce the number of cars on the road.
