Work to address the bus lane and steps at the Orbital Shopping Park is set to begin shortly, news which has been welcomed by North Swindon MP Justin Tomlinson.
Efforts to resolve the issue of both the steps and bus lane were unfortunately delayed while Asda – who are responsible for the land - secured the planning permission required from both the council and the bus company. The planning permission has now been granted and works are due to start shortly and are expected to take around 8 weeks- with the bus lane due for completion by the 22nd November, and the steps by 2nd December.
Justin Tomlinson said: "This is an issue I know has been a concern for a number of residents, and one I am familiar with personally as my community office is based at the Orbital site. I am delighted that work is set to begin, and look forward to seeing how the work progresses"
