Timber planters help with social distancing in Leicester

Leicester City Council needed to put social distancing measures in place during the coronavirus crisis.
Timber planters were seen as a useful device to create safe areas for cyclists and pedestrians whilst at the same time restricting vehicular access.
Street Design was approached to manufacture and supply their Grenadier timber planters.
The FSC-certified treated softwood planters were manufactured and delivered quickly to allow these changes to be implemented as soon as possible, increasing the spaces for cyclists and pedestrians.
The planters have been used to close off streets, narrow traffic carriageways and create outdoor eating areas.
The closed streets have allowed cafes and bars to extend onto the road, providing safe areas for customers to eat and drink.
Planters have been located to reduce the number of carriageways, allowing more space for cyclists and pedestrians.
A large pop-up picnic area has been created in one of the city centre squares, providing seating and tables for people to consume their takeaway food and drink, bought from a range of local businesses.
In addition to helping with social distancing, the planters have increased the number of trees and planting in the city centre.
