The new St Margaret’s Bus Station is designed to act as a catalyst for development in a part of the city centre which once felt cut off from other key development sites.
Leicester City Council successfully bid for £10.5m from the Getting Building Fund of government money for shovel-ready infrastructure projects to help create jobs and support economic recovery.
What previously felt like a cut off part of the city centre has now been opened up, adding to the continued investment by the City Council as part of its commitment to improve connectivity.
The redevelopment of St Margaret’s Bus Station has opened up the wider area to investment and development in the near future.
The modern architecture stands out within the local vicinity and sets a precedent for any future development plans. This also includes the high standard of public realm created.
There is proposed investment in the area from private developers for uses which complement the new bus station and which will change the current environment into an attractive part of the city, attracting footfall into the area.
