Available for over a year

So-called 'guerilla knitters' have been encouraged to drape their handiwork along stretches of Great Central Way in the city. It's hopeful the colourful stitching will brighten-up the urban landscape, especially around Bede Park, and make people in the area feel safer. 麻豆社 Radio Leicester's Christian Hill has been to Great Central Way to find out more.
