Decision details

The purpose of this proposal is to remove the Bus Stop Clearway on Union Road, that is located 3.7 metres east of Havelock Street, to allow for a new section of Limited Waiting parking.

This proposal will relocate the westbound Bus Stop Clearway on Union Road to a more appropriate location outside of Oswaldtwistle library in order to improve bus priority and reduce delays to services caused by parked vehicles.

This proposal removes the existing Bus Stop Clearway outside number 187-189 Union Road, which is no longer used or marked on site. The restriction at this location will then revert back to the existing No Waiting Monday to Saturday 8am to 6pm, allowing parking after the hours of 6pm and all day Sunday.

Consultations.

Formal consultation was carried out from 10 January 2025 until 07 February 2025 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 No Objections were received.

Peter Bell, Highway Regulation Manager, on behalf of Matt Townsend, Director of Highways and Transport, took the decision as set out in the report.
