Report by the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport

27.1     The Lead Member considered a report by the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport, together with the comments of the objector which had been provided by email following publication of the agenda.  

DECISIONS

27.2     The Lead Member RESOLVED to (1) Note the objections to the application of a ‘Clearway’ markings at the bus stop set out in this report, and,

(2)        Approve the application of the ‘Clearway’ marking to improve accessibility to the bus stop and promote its use for all members of the community.

Reasons

27.3     Improvements to the public transport infrastructure in Hastings and Bexhill will help to improve passenger accessibility at bus stops and support the punctuality of bus services across both towns and help engage more people to use public transport.  In turn, this will contribute towards the County Council’s commitment of net zero carbon emissions by 2050 and the Government’s decarbonising transport agenda.

27.4     This bus stop is identified by the Transport Hub Team and the bus operator as one where buses are unable to access the kerbside due to on-street parking.  The application of the Clearway markings will improve accessibility for passengers at the bus stop and support the overall punctuality of buses accessing this stop.
