From 27th February, the Council will begin removing 28 obsolete bus shelters that have no or very few bus services to them.
A further 20 disused shelters are earmarked for removal during 2017-2018.
Notices will be placed inside any shelters affected.
If there is still a bus service operating to these shelters, a flag or pole will be used instead to denote the bus stop area.
The Council is removing these shelters in order to save on maintenance costs such as lighting upgrades and the cost of cleansing the shelter. All the shelters being removed are the old green ones which require significant maintenance.
With energy and maintenance savings combined the Council will save (a year):
£10,780 – by removing the first 28 shelters
£5,700 – by removing the additional 20 shelters
Any reusable parts such as the light covers will be recycled into other shelters providing additional savings.
The first 28 shelters to be removed are located at:
