Plans have been approved  by Halton Borough Council’s Executive Board for two bus shelters with seating on Clifton Road in Runcorn (at the junction of Malpas Road) at a total cost of £4k to help make life easier for residents waiting for public transport in the area.

Halton Borough Council’s Executive Board Member for Transportation, Cllr Stan Hill, said: “This will help everyone in the area, particularly the disabled who will now have the option to sit down in the dry while waiting for a bus.”

Consultations found most residents, who responded,  were in favour of the scheme.
