About 100 people took a part in a protest this morning (Saturday) against plans to put in bus lanes on a major road. The protesters gathered at Carver's Corner, in Leicester Road, Glen Parva, to make their point against the proposals for the A426, that runs between Blaby and the city centre. The city and county council has been given more than £2.5 million by the government for improvements on the A426 Lutterworth Road and Leicester Road which include bus lane, junction improvements and improved bus stops. The aim is to encourage more people to use public transport and leave their car at home. But nearby residents say the work in 2013 to put in the bus lanes will problems for local people and the project will have a long term negative impact on the community, environment and house prices. They say it is not a good use of taxpayers money and have also started a petition on Leicestershire County Council's website. For more on the protest see Monday's Mercury.
