Mayflower Street

What are we doing?

We’re installing two new bus shelters at bus stops with improved passenger information displays. We will also be increasing the amount of space available for buses to use.

We also have a new bus stopping area and have widened the kerb to reduce congestion in the street.

This scheme will help bring more passengers right into to the heart of the city centre – close to both the train station and the coach station.

Why are we doing this?

We will be moving some of the bus services to Mayflower Street rather than Royal Parade – this will create more space and cut congestion on Royal Parade.

It should also help improve air quality as fewer buses will be queuing for space  .

How long will the work take?

Phase 1 of the work began in mid-November and the final phase is due to be completed at the end of April 2023.

How much will this cost?

The Transforming Cities Fund is funding £289,000 out of a total budget of £615,000. The Council is contributing the rest.
