Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment he has made of the potential merits of the proposed improvements to Leicester station and the accompanying benefits of urban agglomeration.
The regeneration of Leicester Station is a £22.6m project led by Leicester City Council, to be delivered through £17.6m of Government Levelling Up funding and a £5m contribution from the Council. Plans for the Station include transforming the ticket hall, creating a new entrance, and relocating the taxi rank by 2024. This will increase station capacity, drive economic growth and improve passenger experience.
