Purpose

Statement of Reasons
The proposals are part of the wider Bus Service Improvement Plans (BSIPs) and aim to enhance bus services and amenities for passengers by introducing raised boarding areas and traffic regulation orders so that buses can arrive and depart efficiently and safely. The proposal includes Bus Stop Clearways and Bus Stands to prioritise bus services and encourage the use of public transport.

Consultation
Formal consultation was carried out between 9 July 2026 and 6 August 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 four responses were received. Whilst none of the respondents objected to the proposal, three raised additional comments and concerns. The main points raised in the responses along with Officer comments are outlines in Appendix C.
