Your views on the proposals for a new bus lane from Harford Park & Ride

Overview

Consultation on proposals for a new bus lane from Harford Park & Ride

Norfolk County Council is asking for feedback on proposed changes to the Harford Park & Ride area of the A140 Ipswich Road. The aim of the scheme is to improve bus journey times and reliability by increasing the capacity of the road for buses. 

The Department for Transport (DfT) has awarded the county council nearly £50m of funding for its Bus Service Improvement Plan, aimed at improving bus services and infrastructure facilities across the county. The plan includes measures such as integrated travel hubs, new and more frequent services and bus priority infrastructure schemes such as this project in the Harford Park & Ride area. You can read more about our work on the Bus Service Improvement Plan by visiting www.norfolk.gov.uk/busstrategy.

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.

The deadline for consultation responses is 22nd December 2023. 

The deadline for comments is Friday 22 December 2023 and we will carefully consider all responses ahead of advertisement of the formal Traffic Regulation Order needed to deliver the project. This will be done in consultation with the local county council member and cabinet member, as appropriate.
