Decision details

The proposal seeks to create a safe and suitable set down/pick up location for passengers with wheel/pushchairs wishing to use public transport.

This proposal ensures that the area around the new bus stop clearway is free of parked vehicles that can cause issues with vehicle manoeuvres and make it more difficult for visually impaired passengers.

Bus Stop Clearway box markings will also prohibit unauthorised vehicles from parking within the stop.

It will also be of benefit to general road safety by improving driver's forward visibility along the road.
