A BRIDGE is set to be built over the level crossing as part of the town centre redevelopment and will link to a new car park.
Plans to convert the former CEAG site into a car park for 170 vehicles were approved by planning bosses but the site, between Kendray Street and Harborough Hill, is cut off from the town centre by the railway line and pedestrians must use the Jumble Lane level crossing.
A separate planning application will now be submitted for the bridge.

We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
