Cheshire East Local transport engagement

RE: Cheshire East Local transport engagement
Love the line about Crewe Bus Station -

Quote:As part of the Royal Arcade development, provide a new bus station and short-term improvements to the existing bus station facility before and during while the new station is delivered.

Short term improvements to make sure the roof doesn't fall down!!! I do wonder how long the current bus station will remain in situ given the demolition of the shop rows is starting.

Bus access to the Grand Junction retail park is an interesting one. Given how it's a big focus of retail in Crewe now with the issues surrounding the town centre, the retail park is only served by one bus, and that only goes in one direction so anyone looking to get a bus back to town has to go on a 15 minute journey round a couple of estates. Congestion is a big problem, and I'm not sure what they can do about that.

There's some interesting stuff in there even if some of it is basically restablishing links that previously existed, but I'm intrigued as to where the money's coming from to pay for it all.
