The council is carrying out the final phase of consultation on a bus lane up Dryburn Road to the Sniperley Roundabout. It will be displaying notices shortly. Whilst there have been some objections to the proposals because of the loss of the parking area in front of Dryburn Hill, the Council believes that this proposal has more benefits than negatives. The money for the scheme is part of the T15 program paid for by the government to improve bus routes.

When the initial proposal was put forward I was adamant that the pavement along this side of the road between both roundabouts was rebuilt as part of the scheme if it went ahead and this has been confirmed.

I am continuing to push for the replacement of the pavement in front of Dryburn Road houses which is not in a good state of repair at all, though so far have not been successful in securing funding.

if anyone does have objections to the proposal please let me know.
