Request

The website bustimes.org shows where a bus stop should be in the village of Holton Le Clay, https://bustimes.org/map#18/53.507/-0.061 - the exact position of this stop appears to be on the northbound side of Church Lane in between the junctions of Church Walk to the south and Eastfield Rise to the north.

This is also referenced on Google Maps with the bus stop ID of lingmpgm and the GPS co-ordinates of 53.50665, -0.06141.

There is no physical bus stop at this location northbound, yet just along the road there is a bus stop in the southbound direction about 50 metres away.

1.Can you advise who is responsible for siting a physical bus stop - either you or Stagecoach who are the operating company in this area.

2.and if this stop is Council jurisdiction if you will undertake steps to instate a stop?

3.Also there are no bus stops in the village of Holton Le Clay that display real time information. Are there any plans to include RTI at any of the bus stops in the village?

Decision

1.Lincolnshire County Council is responsible for providing bus stops; however, do not have a budget or the resources for providing new bus stops.

2.The request for a new bus stop will be added to the list for consideration in the future should funding become available.
