Proposed Move of Bus Stop in Acocks Green Village

by Roger Harmer on 22 November, 2009

Centro are proposing to move the bus shelter and stop, currently outside Greggs (1142 Warwick Road) down the Warwick Road a short distance onto the splitter island by 1146 Warwic Road.

Centro, the City Council Highways Department and National Express West Midlands all agree that the current location is not ideal because:

  • The footway is narrow at this location and heavily used
  • Congestion is caused when buses are unable to pull into the stop, due to use of the disabled parking bay prior to the bus stop

Moving to the new location will tackle both these problems

If it is approved, Birmingham City Council and Centro will arrange the necessary installation of new kerbs, footway construction and a new shelter at the new location.

This move seems sensible to me, but if you do have any concerns, I would be very keen to hear from you  – I need to know by Wednesday 16th December, if I am to take them up with Centro.
