Purpose

It
is proposed to relocate the existing southbound bus stop on Brindle
Road, Bamber Bridge outside the Hospital Inn, to a location away
from the blind corner at the junction of Bank Head Land and Brindle
Road. It is also proposed to maintain and improve the existing
northbound bus stop on Brindle Road with clearway markings and bus
shelter replacement. As part of the works, these bus stops would be
upgraded to be Equality Act compliant with the installation of
raised kerbs, boarding points, bus shelter and bus stop clearway
markings. These
proposals aim to enhance the efficiency and safety of bus
operations by providing dedicated spaces for buses to stop, allow
safe alighting/boarding of passengers and unimpeded movement of
buses.
 
Consultation and formal advertising of the proposals has been
undertaken, and this report summarises the results of the
formal advertising to which objections have been received.
