Proposed bus stop clearways - Barkston, Church Street; Sutton Bridge, Bridge Road; Deeping St James, Thackers Way and Crowson Way; Lincoln, Wolsey Way

Minutes:

The Committee considered a report in connection with objections received to the proposed introduction of bus stop clearways at Barkston, Church Street; Sutton Bridge, Bridge Road; Deeping St James, Thackers Way and Crowson Way; Lincoln, Wolsey Way. Objections were received at all sites, complaining about the removal of private parking outside properties and businesses. Assessment of proposed bus stop clearways however indicated that it would benefit passengers and improve the service provided by bus companies.

 

Some Members registered their surprise that two bus stops, as shown in Deeping St James, Thackers Way, were positioned in parallel opposite each other, particularly noting their concern if two buses were to arrive at the same time however unlikely. In addition, Members added that there may be an impact to fire fighters accessing the fire station.

 

Officers appreciated Members' reservations regarding parallel bus stops and agreed to consider relocation where relevant.

 

On a motion proposed by Councillor I G Fleetwood and seconded by Councillor I D Carrington, it was:

RESOLVED (10 with 1 abstention (Councillor N H Pepper))

That the objections be overruled and that the clearways, as advertised, be introduced.
