Leicestershire County Council has granted the temporary closure of The Dicken in Whetstone.

The closure is required at the bridge over Whetstone Brook and the road is scheduled to be closed from the 8th April 2013 for up to 1 week.

This will enable Leicestershire Highways to safely carry out maintenance works to the bridge over Whetstone Brook.

During the closure the alternative route will be via:-

Warwick Road, Riverside Way, Station Road, Coventry Road, Desford Road, King Edward Avenue, Narborough;

Leicester Road, The Foxhunter Roundabout, Blaby Road, Enderby;

Enderby Road, The Blaby-By-Pass, Grove Road, Brook Street, Whetstone.
