Purpose

The purpose of this scheme is to support the
improved amenity in Nelson Town Centre, with improved pedestrian
and cycle access and linkage across Nelson. All the proposals will
work together to create a safer environment for pedestrians,
cyclists, and vulnerable users. It is hoped this will give
confidence to encourage more users to consider commuting via
non-motorised means and this will improve health and air quality
for the residents of Nelson. The proposal includes the removal and
subsequent relocation of one existing Bus Stop Clearway and
introduction of two Bus Stop Clearways to prioritise bus services
and encourage the use of public transport.

Consultations
For Bus Stops - Formal consultation was carried out between 10
