Orpington Station Forecourt

25/11/2016 - Congestion in Crofton Road: Improvements to Orpington Station Forecourt and Nearby Highway

(1)  Due to the high cost of service diversions to provide a bus lay-by and other associated enhancements, the bus stop improvement outside Orpington Station will no longer proceed as previously agreed (Report ES14075).

 

(2)  The S106 funds, Borough Cycling Programme, and LIP cycling/walking funds are to be used to improve the Station forecourt, reduce the impact of traffic queuing to enter the Station (having a knock-on effect on Crofton Road), and for the provision of new high quality cycle parking for 60 bicycles alongside other improvements to cycle parking.

 

(3)  Further investigations are to be undertaken regarding possible changes to Station Road to address the issues associated with congestion resulting from queueing from the Tower Road/View Road junction.
