Leicester has re-opened St Margaret’s Bus Station.

The bus station redevelopment is part of the £14.3million St Margaret’s Gateway regeneration project.

This has been supported by a £10.5million allocation from the Getting Building Fund, a pot of government money awarded to the Leicester and Leicestershire Enterprise Partnership (LLEP) for shovel-ready infrastructure projects to help create jobs and support economic recovery across the country.

National Express are to return to the new building from Tuesday 5 July.

Cllr Adam Clarke, said:

“The new St Margaret’s Bus Station represents an ambitious and important step forwards in our efforts to become a carbon-neutral city. We believe that this is the first net zero carbon bus station building in the UK."
