M P Harrison Thetford 19 Policy TH 25 Comment Need clean toilets, information and waiting room.<br />
Marion Crisp Thetford 19 Policy TH 25 Disagree<br />
Apparently planners consider the Anchor Site too small for large<br />
buses so how on earth can they even entertain using Cosy Carpets<br />
site where all the roads are narrow. How is a big bus going to get<br />
between Iceland and the adjacent house? Please, please reconsider<br />
before you make Thetford a laughing stock! Have the planners even<br />
Public toilets, that will be maintained by Thetford Town Council,<br />
are to be provided as part of the new Bus Interchange. Public<br />
transport information, including real time bus information, will<br />
also be provided along with covered passenger waiting facilities. No further action.<br />
The design of the new Bus Interchange and the work planned for<br />
Minstergate and St Nicholas Street (including the adjacent<br />
junction onto Norwich Road) will be safe for pedestrians and<br />
other road users. The proposals being developed have been<br />
consulted the bus companies? Judging from letters in the local press, subject to an independent safety audit and two full scale 'mock<br />
this is not what the people of Thetford want and you are supposed to up' trails carried out with a local bus operator the<br />
be taking our wants into consideration so please show that you are recommendations of which have been incorporated into the<br />

We do not feel that this is a sensible solution for the bus station<br />
locations, why can't the people in Thetford be heard over this in a<br />
straight for or against vote?<br />
Agree that further consultation on<br />
the new proposed bus interchange<br />
and existing riverside site is urgently<br />
required in advance of Town Centre<br />
masterplan work to aid local<br />
understanding of what is being<br />
proposed and why an alternative<br />
option of retaining the existing bus<br />
facility is not an appropriate way<br />
forward to achieve the regeneration<br />
of this key town centre site.<br />
The new Bus Interchange will be able to cope with the largest<br />
buses and coaches permitted on Britain's road network. It is not<br />
proposed to restrict the use of the new facility for dropping off or<br />
collecting coach passengers, however it is not planned to permit<br />
international coaches to park up (or 'lay over') within the site for<br />
extended periods. Long stay parking of coaches will be directed<br />
to other parts of the town outside of the town centre. No further action.<br />
The desire for the existing bus facilities that exist within the<br />
Bridge Street car park to be improved is noted. However the<br />
existing site is constrained, by adjacent buildings (one of which<br />
is listed), flood zones (along the river frontage) and by the<br />
existence of a scheduled ancient monument. Without significant<br />
demolition of buildings the existing facilities can not be improved<br />
to provide a high quality interchange of sufficient capacity to<br />
cater for the planned growth and regeneration of the town. If<br />
building demolitions occurred to achieve a suitable site assembly<br />
for a new bus interchange the regeneration potential of this<br />
important town centre site and the opportunity it provides to<br />
significantly enhance the river frontage and wider revival of the<br />
town centre would be compromised.<br />
