The Voice of Spalding and South Holland
A four week £100,000 scheme to improve Spalding’s bus station is due to start on Monday.
The project will include resurfacing across the station, replacing kerbing, deep cleaning of shelters and repairs to fencing around the site.
There will be two phases of the refurbishment and the bus station will remain open and operating as normal throughout.
There will be some temporary relocations to allow work to take place.
Starting on Monday and lasting until Friday, October 7, the bus services will be moved to near the existing taxi rank with five designated bays operations while the bus lanes are resurfaced.
Phase two is due to start on Monday, October 10 and last until Tuesday, October 18.
Bus services will return to their usual locations with the car park and taxi area closed to the public while resurfacing takes place.
During both phases cars and taxis will be temporarily parking at the other end of the site, nearer the King’s Road junction.
“It is vital that we do what we can to ensure that public transport in South Holland is both accessible and desirable for people to use and that the station is a welcoming place to arrive in the town whether it’s for work, school or to enjoy some of our fantastic local shops and businesses,” said Coun Rodney Grocock,
South Holland District Council’s portfolio holder for assets and planning.
“I am delighted that we are able to make this significant investment in the bus station, helping to make the site a simpler, more attractive and safer place for residents and visitors to use,” he added.
