Ulverscroft Road sits in one of Leicester’s busiest industrial districts, packed with warehouses, factories, and trade businesses.
The area is home to textile firms, engineering workshops, and storage units, making it a hub of constant activity during the working day.
Because of the concentration of industrial premises, the road sees a steady flow of lorries, vans, and commuter traffic.
Any major incident here, like today’s fire, quickly causes widespread disruption to both local businesses and drivers.
