Decision Details

Motion J

Proposer: Councillor J. Young, Seconder: Councillor Lilley

We believe that bus transport should be at the heart of a thriving city centre 

To that end this council is committed to making bus transport as appealing and reliable as possible. 

We welcome the opportunity that bus franchising brings and believe that this will improve our bus services. 

However we recognise that the current bus stand provision in Osborne Street is inadequate and presents safety concerns. 

Therefore this Council is committed to the development of modern bus station facilities where travellers’ safety and comfort are prioritised through the provision of adequate seating, lighting, toilet and access to refreshments. The nature and locations of such facilities should be subject to public consultation.  

As the motion relates to a non-executive function, it will be debated and determined at the meeting.
