M1 Widening

M1 Motorway - Kirby Muxloe Presentation Submitted by: Brian on Apr 07, 2006

IMPORTANT NEWS
There was a presentation detailing the proposed widening of the M1 Motorway, at Kirby Muxloe Parish Hall today Friday 7th April - from 14:00 (2pm) until 20:00 (8pm)


Visitors to this presentation were told that all properties within 300 Mtrs of the motorway should have been advised of this event by letter.

People living in Kirby Muxloe were apparently notified in advance. But not so for most of the people living adjacent to the A47 bridge. Our volunteers have delivered a few brochures this evening, out of a sense of duty to the community.
Please pass the word on.

Apparently, the plan involves Moving the A47 Bridge and widening the M1 Motorway to six lanes in each direction at this point. This will affect many people in LFE, not to mention the disruption to traffic flow during the works. But as far as I've been able to discover, hardly anyone in Leicester Forest East was notified !

WHY WAS THIS?


Sorry if you missed the presentation, but all is not lost:! It's not too late to have your say.
