Late last year I published an article about plans to replace the bus shelter opposite the Welfare Park gates on the Coast Road in Blackhall Colliery. Please see background details here: https://robcrute-blackhall.blogspot.com/2022/11/replacement-bus-shelters-at-crimdon-and.html
As they’ve passed by over the past week or so people will have noticed that works to resurface the hard standing and pavement with tarmac have been carried out. This was done to prevent tripping hazards caused by damaged and uneven concrete paving tiles that previously formed the base of the bus shelter.
I’ve been contacted over the past few days by a number of residents asking for an update on progress so I’ve contacted the highways department to ask for an estimated date for the works to be completed.
In return the department has confirmed that the replacement bus shelter is scheduled to be installed shortly after the Easter holidays. As a guide I’m told that 17 April is the likely date.
I’ll update soon on ongoing works to replace the damaged bus shelter at Blackhall Colliery Primary School.
