Bus Stop Shelters for Twigworth – Update!

Good news for some of the long suffering bus passengers of Twigworth!

Following an enquiry by Cllr Redfern earlier in the year to the Gloucestershire County Council (GCC) about the status of the S106 deliverables for the Twigworth Green development, GCC advised that the Bus Stop contribution had been approved for two new bus shelters near the Oakwood Hotel on the A38 and that they were keen to progress this project before the end of this financial year.

Twigworth Parish Council were then able to arrange an Extraordinary Meeting in August for the Council to agree adoption of the new shelters and advised GCC of this decision.

We are pleased to report that the groundworks for the installation of these two Bus Shelters has now started!

So at long last, bus passengers who have had to wait for their buses in all weathers and cope with the traffic spray right next to the A38, their ordeal will soon be coming to an end!

Cllr Redfern has also been following up on the Bus Shelter for Twigworth Green (which is to be provided by the Developer), this is by far the most used Bus Stop in Twigworth but the Bus Shelter is still some way off and the Parish Council have been pushing the Gloucestershire County Council on this for some time.

We have been informed by GCC, that the Developer, has advised they are out to tender for the Bus Shelter, we will continue to report progress on this.
