Purpose

The scheme will introduce a signed Restricted
Parking Zone, with a No Waiting and No Loading at Any Time
restriction along a section of St Annes Road West.
The proposals will ensure the safe movement of pedestrians and
vehicles to support the Lytham St Annes Event Space project and
remove the need for lining to further enhance the area and make the
area less vehicle dominant.

The proposals include the relocation of the existing bus stop on St
Annes Road West, to a more appropriate location to support the
Lytham St Annes Event Space project and to upgrade the bus stops to
quality bus stops. This will also allow buses to pull in and out
safely and allow effective enforcement.
A raised boarding platform will also be installed to ensure safe
boarding and alighting of mobility impaired passengers and ensure
the bus stops are fully mobility compliant. Bus shelters are also
being provided to give shelter for waiting pedestrians.
