Purpose

Statement of Reasons:
Introduction of a new bus stop location.
The purpose of this proposal is to remove the existing bus stop and
introduce a new bus stop clearway on Black Bull Lane (19m Length),
to a more suitable location to enable buses to align correctly,
safely and efficiently at the stop and allow for effective
enforcement.

The proposal also includes the construction of a raised boarding
platform ensuring safe boarding and alighting of passengers.

Proposal for reducing a bus stop clearway on Black Bull Lane
The purpose of this proposal is a reduction of the existing bus
stop clearway by 3 metres on Black Bull Lane.
New bus stop clearway will be 27m length.
This will allow the buses to pull in and out safely to align with
the equality boarding points, also the revised restriction will
allow effective enforcement to maintain such manoeuvres.
