Purpose

The purpose of the proposals are to facilitate
the safe passage of vehicles and pedestrians, providing Equality
Act (2010) compliant bus stops. The introduction of Bus Stop
Clearways will prevent parked vehicles from obstructing kerbside
boarding / alighting and improve bus journey times and
consistency.
The proposals also remove three bus stops, relocating these to more
appropriate locations and extends one existing bus stop clearway
(by 8 metres) to allow the buses to pull in and out safely.
Consultations
Formal consultation was carried out between 22 October-2024 and 19
November-2024 which included frontagers to the proposed location of
the Bus Stop being notified and notices being displayed on site.
Divisional county councillors were consulted along with the
council's usual consultees.
Following formal consultation, Objections were received but have
been subsequently withdrawn.
