Bus stop improvements on Staincliffe Road, Dewsbury.
Kirklees Council is planning to carry out improvement work to two bus stops on Staincliffe Road. The bus stop improvements are required as part of the Woodland Court Extra Care housing scheme on School Lane which is currently being built.
The works will be carried out on bus stop BS61210 which is outside the Gladstone Court homes and BS16216 which is the adjacent to Woodland Court. There will be a new fully enclosed bus shelter outside Gladstone Court and a new cantilever bus shelter adjacent to Woodland Court. Please take a look at the enclosed plans that show the bus stop proposals.
The bus stops will have new high boarder kerbs installed to make it easier for wheelchair users and people with poor mobility to get on and off the bus. New yellow bus stop clearway markings are also going to be put down on the road to prevent vehicles parking near the bus stops. This will allow buses to park alongside the boarder kerbs every time and make sure that access to the local bus service is maintained.
The Woodland Court Extra Care housing scheme is part of the Kirklees Excellent Homes for Life Project which will build 466 new homes for rent across Kirklees. For further information on the Excellent Homes for Life project please visit www.kirklees.gov.uk/excellent homes or telephone 01484 225210 to speak to a member of the team.
