Arriva Bus Service
General concern over the poor service received in our area. We are having ongoing discussions with Arriva
Old Police HQ
SBC should be in a position to make an announcement within the next 2 to 3 months, however, PCC Mathew Ellis was asked about the progress on the Old Police HQ Site via social media, he replied as follows…
“It’s been anything but simple but working towards something in keeping with area & to minimise traffic.
I’m aiming at a high qual development. Also trying to help re health centre & pos high end retirement+. But it’s all very difficult! Trying to get to where I think locals would agree with but lots of hurdles to get there still after all these months.
Embroiled in lots of planning & other sensitivities at present. Publicise more in few weeks & then’ll be consultation as well
{ ‘commercial sensitivities’ ?}
Largely because it’s complex as I’m trying to take the right option for area rather than easy option for me!”
When we hear more we will let you know.
