Bus stops
We are responsible for the provision of bus infrastructure in North Lincolnshire and a programme of improvements has seen changes made to stops throughout the area. Most bus stops are installed where it has been custom and practice for the bus to stop. When a stop is being upgraded, consultation takes place with local residents, the operator, the public transport department and the police.
If objections are received then alternatives will be looked at, however it may be that the site chosen is the only safe and convenient place.
Bus shelters
You can place a request for a new bus shelter by contacting our Public Transport team.
How to Request:
Phone: Call us at 01724 297000
Email: Send your request to public.transport@northlincs.gov.uk. Please include your name, contact details, and the location where you would like the bus shelter to be installed.
Our team will review your request and get back to you with further information.
Damage to the shelters
For example, broken panes, graffiti or structural damage – costs the council thousands of pounds a year. Smoking is not allowed in enclosed shelters.
Reports of damaged bus shelters are passed to the contractor for repair. These are then programmed to be dealt with in batches as this is more cost effective than dealing with repairs on an individual basis. Therefore, it could take a few weeks for bus shelters to be repaired.
