Bus station upgrade 'can boost footfall'
- Published
A scheme to refurbish a town bus station and upgrade public toilets will begin next month.
The £500,000 scheme for Tadcaster is aimed at increasing footfall in the town centre, North Yorkshire County Council said.
Visitor information and real-time bus updates will be added to the station, while the toilets will be made more accessible.
The project will also involve a renovation of the Tadkebab fast-food building and a deep clean of the area.
Councillor Kirsty Poskitt said: “The bus station improvements are long overdue and very welcome. This area of the town is well used and the entryway for many people to Tadcaster.
“We’ve listened to the community and made sure that the changes are beneficial to all."
Work on the scheme starts on 2 December and is due to take four months.
