Purpose

The purpose of the proposed Bus Stops clearways are to support the upgrade of the existing bus stops to quality bus stops. This is to allow the buses to pull in and out safely and allow for 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.

The proposals are being pursued as part of a Section 278 agreement under the Highways Act 1980. These proposals are being funded fully by the developer and are linked to the extension of Broughton-in-Amounderness CoE Primary School and the associated planning conditions.
