Written by on 8th November 2025

More details have been revealed about plans to improve key road junctions in Market Harborough.

Leicestershire County Council is investing £5m over the next five years in a bid cut congestion and make roads safer for cyclists and pedestrians.

Andy Jackson from LCC explains more about the plans at the drop-in event at Harborough Market

The first scheme will be along Rockingham Road, with plans including adding an extra turning lane on Gores Lane, where it meets Rockingham Road.

Another proposal is to make Clarence Street one-way in a northbound direction from the St Mary’s Road/Kettering Road junction to Albert Road.

Work is set to start on the first scheme in late 2026 and details of the plans were revealed at drop-in events in Market Harborough this week.

Senior project manager Andy Jackson from the county council spoke to HFM:

Changes could see Clarence Street made on-way where it meets St Mary’s Road and Kettering Road

Bob Bellm is a volunteer with Harborough Transport Action Group and told HFM the various schemes must connect with each other:
