Purpose

Statement of Reasons:
The purpose of this proposal is to upgrade the existing bus stops
on the B6257 Blackburn Road at Rawtenstall, with enforceable
clearway markings and signs allowing buses to pull in safely and
efficiently at the stop.
The proposal intends to promote sustainable transport for all users
by including the construction of a raised platform, allowing safe
boarding and alighting of passengers and ensure the bus stops are
fully mobility compliant.
The proposals include the relocation of the existing bus stops to a
more appropriate location.
