By Mark Farmer

A public square is under construction in Leicester City Centre, and will come at a cost of £2million.

Project manager, Paul Devine, is anticipating the operation will encourage more people to visit Leicester and its City Centre, as well as improving its look.

Mr Devine said: “We’re hoping the operation will attract more people to the area, as well as create further clientele for businesses.”

The square, which is being built on the old market hall site, is set to be finished on 1 June 2017, and will host public events, shortly after its completion.
