Your views on the proposed bus lane and new bus stops on Grimston Road

Overview

Consultation on Grimston Road proposed bus lane and new bus stops

Norfolk County Council is asking for feedback on proposed changes to Grimston Road on the approach to Knights Hill Roundabout, as part of Norfolk County Council’s Bus Service Improvement Plan. 

Our proposals would improve bus journey times, punctuality and reliability with minimal impact on other road users.

Grimston Road would see accessibility and safety improved. Currently, on Grimston Road there is no safe area to use the bus facility or cross the road. So, we are proposing to build new foot paths linking the Knight’s Hill Hotel & Spa and Rising Lodge Farm Shop to the new bus stops and crossing. Our proposed dedicated turn into the Rising Lodge Farm Shop will enable a safer entry point and will reduce congestion related to vehicles waiting to turn into the shop. 

This project is part of a series of improvements we are making in the county, called the Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP). It’s aimed at improving bus services across our public transport network. We are using funding awarded to us by the Department for Transport to improve accessibility on our bus network and invest in infrastructure at strategic locations, relieving specific areas of congestion that affect buses so we can deliver better, more punctual services.

The documents below detail exactly what we’re proposing and why and the accompanying plan shows what the project could look like on the ground.

After reviewing the proposals below please answer the questions in the online survey on the following page.
