Purpose

The proposal seeks to create a
safe and suitable set down/pick up location for passengers with
wheel/pushchairs wishing to use public transport.
 
This proposal ensures that the
area around the new bus stop clearway is free of parked vehicles
that can cause issues with vehicle manoeuvres and make it more
difficult for visually impaired passengers.
 
Bus Stop Clearway box markings
will also prohibit unauthorised vehicles from parking within the
stop.
 
It will also be of benefit to
general road safety by improving driver's forward visibility along
the road.
 
Consultations
For Bus Stops - Formal
consultation was carried out between 14 March-2025 until 11
April-2025 which included frontagers to the proposed location of
the Bus Stop being notified and notices being displayed on site.

council's usual consultees.
 
Following formal consultation
No Objections were received.
