Issue details

Lancashire County Council (Bolton Road and Chorley Road, Chorley) (Removal and Introduction of Bus Stop Clearways)

The purpose of the proposals are to facilitate the safe passage of vehicles and pedestrians, providing Equality Act (2010) compliant bus stops. The introduction of Bus Stop Clearways will prevent parked vehicles from obstructing kerbside boarding / alighting and improve bus journey times and consistency.
The proposals also remove three bus stops, relocating these to more appropriate locations and extends one existing bus stop clearway (by 8 metres) to allow the buses to pull in and out safely.
Consultations
Formal consultation was carried out between 22 October-2024 and 19 November-2024 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Following formal consultation, Objections were received but have been subsequently withdrawn.
