Spalding Bus Station's £124k revamp completed

The £124,000 improvement works at Spalding's bus station and the Winfrey Avenue car park have been completed.

The extensive programme of refurbishment and resurfacing work was carried out by South Holland District Council.

Coun Rodney Grocock, portfolio holder for assets and planning, said: “I am pleased to see these extensive improvement works completed, that will help make the bus station and neighbouring car park a safe, accessible and pleasant place for residents and visitors to use.

“This represents another significant investment by the council in a vital town centre asset, and is part of our ongoing commitment to improving the district’s infrastructure and key services, and making Spalding a more welcoming place to arrive in, whether for work, school, or to enjoy some of our fantastic local shops and businesses.”

The works, which started in late September, included resurfacing across both the station and the car park with a new heavy-duty tarmac, as well as installing new line markings, signage and litter bins - a total of £124k of capital investment in the site.

The bus shelters have all undergone a thorough deep clean, and a footpath along the Water Tower boundary of the site has been included.

There has also been curbing replacement and repairs to fencing as part of the investment.

Within the next few months electric vehicle charging points will be installed in Winfrey Avenue car park, bringing the total number of council charging locations in the district to seven, including four in Spalding.
