Six new bus shelters promised for Thatcham

Six new bus shelters have been promised for Thatcham in the new year.

The shelters, four of which will have grass roofs, will be provided within Thatcham at a cost of £47,604.37.

They will be located along the London Road (A4), Henwick (eastbound), Lower Way (westbound, opposite Glebelands), Lower Way (westbound, opposite Paynesdown Road), Station Road (opposite Flagstaff Square) and The Moors (westbound, outside Nevil Court).

The project was made possible thanks to a grant awarded to Thatcham Town Council by West Berkshire Council’s Bus Services Improvement Plan, provided by the Department for Transport.

The grant will provide a contribution to clean and maintain each of the shelters for five years.
