St Margaret's Gateway

Allocation; £10.5 million. 

St. Margaret’s Gateway is a regeneration project at one of the key access points to Leicester. St Margaret’s Bus Station is the city’s national Express Hub, linking people with the rest of the country by road. The station also serves the city and surrounding areas of Leicestershire, with several operators running services from it. 

This scheme will see the bus station completely redesigned and refurbished, and the surrounding road infrastructure upgraded to provide improved facilities for buses, cyclists and pedestrians. 

The scheme will provide:  

• essential public realm infrastructure to support a new community in this part of the city 
• high-quality connections between development sites and the city centre 
• regeneration stimulus in the form of a renewed bus station at the heart of the area, which will indirectly accelerate the delivery of stalled sites.
