North Midland wins £650k Leicester cycle track contract

A new 1km cycle circuit it set be built in Leicester.

The circuit will be located at New College – a dedicated learning and sports village – on Greencoat Road, Leicester. It will occupy a site that was previously a playing field.

The Highways division of Midlands based North Midland Construction (NM Group), which has an office in Leicester, has been awarded the £650,000 contract to build the new cycle circuit by Leicester City Council.

The Council is developing the circuit in partnership with British Cycling and the College.

Work will begin on the new circuit this month and is due to be completed by the end of March.

Geoff Poyzer, managing director of NM Group’s Highways division, said: “We are extremely pleased to be working once again with Leicester City Council.

“The new cycle circuit will be a welcome addition to the City – especially with keen cyclists and even those looking to take up a new hobby in 2017.

“We believe it will be a grand addition to New College and deliver yet another exciting sporting opportunity for its students.”
