This improvement formed part of the planning conditions associated with the Leaders Farm development.
The new Toucan Crossing would provide safe and direct connectivity for pedestrians and cyclists, linking the new development to existing infrastructure on the northern side of the A4303 and along Coventry Road, Lutterworth.
The scheme supported the planning conditions and infrastructure improvement required for the new development.
