Decision details

It is proposed to relocate the existing southbound bus stop on Brindle Road, Bamber Bridge outside the Hospital Inn, to a location away from the blind corner at the junction of Bank Head Land and Brindle Road. It is also proposed to maintain and improve the existing northbound bus stop on Brindle Road with clearway markings and bus shelter replacement. As part of the works, these bus stops would be upgraded to be Equality Act compliant with the installation of raised kerbs, boarding points, bus shelter and bus stop clearway markings. These proposals aim to enhance the efficiency and safety of bus operations by providing dedicated spaces for buses to stop, allow safe alighting/boarding of passengers and unimpeded movement of buses.

Consultation and formal advertising of the proposals has been undertaken, and this report summarises the results of the formal advertising to which objections have been received.

The Cabinet approved the recommendation(s) as set out in the report.
