Contractors remove newly installed traffic island in Queniborough after it blocked bus routes
Überblick
Work has begun to remove a newly installed traffic island on Rearsby Road in Queniborough, Leicestershire, after it narrowed the road and forced Arriva Midlands to withdraw bus services because drivers had to mount the kerb. Developer David Wilson Homes funded both the installation and the removal of the pedestrian refuge following discussions with highways design engineers. The removal work is expected to be completed by Wednesday, with bus services anticipated to resume by Thursday. Meanwhile, Leicestershire County Council has provided a free taxi service for affected residents.
