GETTING ABOUT
We Are Connected
We have completed a new £15m bridge across the M1 Motorway extending Meridian Way into New Lubbesthorpe, providing a direct connection to the city’s ring road.
Our new entrance onto Beggars Lane is the eastern gateway to our Phase One development area.

To reflect the commitment of the Drummond Trust to sustainability, local transport consultancy GO Travel Solutions was appointed in April 2018 as the Travel Plan Coordinator for the development. They help residents with all their travel needs, offering advice, discounts on sustainable travel, ebike trials and help with public transport, car sharing and electric vehicles.
The LocalGO scheme is free for residents and provides a range of great sustainable travel savings including a free 7-day ticket on NovusDirect & NovusFosse and £150 of credit for the Enterprise Car Club at New Lubbesthorpe. On top of that, there are also discounts with the likes of Halfords, Rutland Cycling, Hurrecane ebikes, Railcards and more!
For more information on how to set up your account, please visit the LocalGO website or email: newlubbesthorpe@localgo.co.uk
New Lubbesthorpe’s bus services, the NovusDirect and NovusFosse, are operated by Vectare. Residents of New Lubbesthorpe can access discounts for these services via LocalGO.
Choose between a FREE 7-day ticket or 50% off a 31-day ticket for both services.
For more information on these services and how to create your LocalGO account, click here.
Our network of footpath and cycle ways (and bridleways) connect New Lubbesthorpe into the wider networks and make the countryside just as accessible as the city.
We will also deliver a new bridge connecting across the M69 in the south, via the Strategic Employment site, to Leicester Lane and St Johns, and on to the Soar Valley Way ring road in the south.

Enterprise Car Club
New Lubbesthorpe residents also benefit from their very own car club, operated by Enterprise. Featuring two cars parked near the Primary School, you can hire these vehicles by the hour whenever you need.
Having access to car nearby for occasional trips means owning a car (or a second car) is often unnecessary, helping you save money on all the costs of vehicle ownership.
LocalGO members get a free annual membership and £150 of driving credit to get started, so why not give it a go? Register for LocalGO to find out more.
