Bus Stop oposite Argyle Terrace

I have received confirmation that the bus shelter opposite Argyle Terrace has been programmed in for re-installation on Thursday 23rd January. 

In the meantime, the operator (First) have been issued with a staff notice to remind bus drivers that they should still be stopping there, even though there is no pole or flag in place.

Westmoreland Bus Stops

Following recent requests from residents we are pleased to see the Bus Stop opposite Vernon Terrace is finally being altered.  As part of the new bus stop installations throughout the area, the raised pavement is being moved next to the bus shelter, meaning that the queue under the shelter will be in the correct direction, alleviating the confusion over where the front of the queue should be.

We have also asked that the bus stop opposite Argyle Terrace is replaced as soon as possible.  When the pavement alterations were carried out recently, the old bus shelter was removed and the raised pavement has been put in a little further down the road.  

However, the new shelter has not yet been put in place and therefore no sign has been put up to show where the bus stop is.  This has resulted in a number buses not stopping there and residents left not knowing if they have to go to a different stop.

We have requested if a full installation is not possible at the moment that a temporary bus stop sign is put in place urgently to ensure residents are confident the buses will stop to pick them up.

Bellotts Road safety

Councillor Sharon Ball and I are pleased to be able to confirm, following recent discussions and meetings, work will be starting shortly on the old footbridge over the railway line at the top of Bellotts Road to continue the two tunnels route, with a view to this being open before Christmas.

This will mean cyclists and walkers will be able to continue their journey along the route without having to travel the wrong way up the top end of Bellotts Road.
