Why it's a great idea:
Just like how Facebook revolutionised Social Media, Street Food is revolutionising the way to eat and meet. A new concept that has taken the capital by storm is now making waves throughout the UK. We want Leicester to be at the forefront if not the home of Street Food.
This is a great idea as it will give Leicester people an alternative place to meet, eat and drink in an environment that is accommodating to families from all generations and in an atmosphere that is relaxed yet upbeat and entertaining.
The Park will develop and rejuvenate unused land, creating a attractive space, employment and will boost the local economy. The Park will also give local communities the opportunity to sample Word Cuisine as well as showcase there own culinary delights, uniting communities and encouraging community cohesion.
