Proposed replacement bus shelter at Castle Eden Golf Club

The brick bus shelter directly outside the Castle Eden Golf Club has been in a poor condition for some time. To make matters worse the roof was badly damaged recently so we contacted the county council this morning to ask for an update on proposals to either rebuild or replace it.


We have reproduced the officer's response below. We will monitor progress and report any updates as we receive them.

In the meantime, if you have any comments to make please let us know and we'll pass them on to the relevant department at county hall for consideration:

Good Afternoon Councillors,

The existing brick bus shelter adjacent Castle Eden Golf Club is currently in a poor state of repair and recently lost its roof during a spell of inclement weather.

I am therefore proposing to replace the bus shelter with a new fully enclosed, fully glazed style bus shelter as shown on the attached ‘Proposed Bus Shelter Style’ photograph (please see image below).

I have checked with our Sustainable Transport Team who have confirmed that there are no plans to change the bus service currently operating past the stop and the Bus Operator have confirmed that the stop is used.

Before I progress and consult with the Golf Club, please could you let me know if you have any comments on the proposed scheme?
