North Somerset Council scraps plan for new bus lane in Backwell
["Declan O'Reilly"]
North Somerset Times | News
While plans for a bus lane through Backwell have been scrapped, the council is set to install bus-priority traffic lights in spring next year.
She said: “We are no longer taking forward the bus lane option as part of the Bus Service Improvement Plan programme.
She added: “A bus lane scheme for Backwell may still be required later in the 15 year Local Plan period but we will continue to consider the future measures needed to support those services as we continue to work on the Local Plan and Nailsea & Backwell Transport Strategy.
A spokesman for Backwell Parish Council (BPC) said: “We endorse the implementation of bus lanes when they are situated in appropriate locations.
BPC has consistently resisted a bus lane through the centre of Backwell.
