Make travel a little easier this Christmas… leave your car at home, hop on the bus and avoid the hassle of traffic or finding a parking space.
W2W is a project which helps jobseekers overcome a lack of transport to work locations. It is for those people who are able to do a job employers are offering, but unable to get to the job location. This might be because working hours are outside the times the buses operate or they would have to take two buses to get to the location. Wheels to Work is the loan of a pedal or electric bike at low cost to people who find that transport is a barrier in accessing work or further training or education. It would cost the jobseeker £10 per month for the loan of either an electric or pedal bike or £30 a month for an electric scooter. The bike is available for 6 months until they are in a position to afford their own transport.
We're calling on people to send a #PostcardtoParis to show their support for action on climate change. With the COP21 Climate Conference fast approaching, now is your opportunity to demonstrate to delegates in Paris that Leicester is united in support of climate change action.
How do I send a #PostcardtoParis?
The Leicester Park & Ride service will be running every Sunday in December - giving you more time for Christmas shopping, while avoiding the trauma of traffic and the perils of parking in the city centre.
There will also be services on Boxing Day and Monday 28 December. View the full festive timetable.
Dear All

You are invited to find out more about the proposals and view detailed plans at Leicester Adult Education Centre, Wellington Street, where they will be on display until Friday 30 October 2015.

PEOPLE are being given the chance to comment on proposals to improve footpaths and introduce a new cycleway on two busy Leicester city centre streets.
The city council plans to create better footpaths and a separate cycle lane along a stretch of Welford Road, from Newarke Street to Lancaster Walk.
The new two-way cycle lane will replace the existing bus lane on Welford Road, keeping the existing three lanes open to general traffic. Pavements will also be improved to create a more attractive environment for pedestrians.
Current proposals include the creation of a bus only link at the junction of Welford Road and Infirmary Road, a new crossing at the junction of Mill Street and Welford Road, and a review of existing kerbside parking arrangements. Some bus stops could also be relocated.
