NNS52 - Eakring Road, Mansfield - Proposed Bus Stop Clearway

Overview

Via East Midlands Ltd, working on behalf of Nottinghamshire County Council, Proposes installing a new enforceable clearway at the proposed location as shown in the attached plan, drawing number H/SH/4986/01.

Concerns have been raised about the dangerous location of bus stop MA0016 which is causing safety concerns due to stopped buses overhanging the junction with Big Barn Lane. To help alleviate these problems, it is proposed to introduce a new bus stop clearway (‘No Stopping at any time except buses’) to slightly shift where drivers can pick up passengers, in turn allowing vehicles to use the junction while a bus is stopped. The extents of these restrictions are shown on drawing number H/SH/4986/01.

This advert comes following an initial consultation completed between the 7^th October 2025 and 4^th November 2025. Whilst objections were received to this consultation that cannot be overcome, it is important to leave the bus stop in service because of the important role it plays in improving accessibility for elderly and disabled residents living in the local area, who would have to walk significant distances to their nearest stop without it. Therefore, these proposals aim to improve the layout of the stop whilst hopefully minimising the impact on local residents.
