Purpose

The purpose of this proposal is to remove the existing bus stop clearway from the north west side of Blackburn Road (C220) and introduce a new bus stop clearway in a more suitable location. This will enable buses to align correctly, safely and more 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.
