Supporting the use of public transport - all aboard the bus

Ashington Town Council has exercised its power to provide and maintain bus shelters for several years. More recently, in addition to repairing shelters, the Council’s Assets & Facilities Manager has identified those shelters requiring replacement, and the Council has planned to replace four shelters each year.

The planned replacement of bus shelters contributes to improving the appearance of the town, as well as our commitment to reducing carbon footprint. Taking a local bus emits a little over half the greenhouse gases of a single occupancy car journey and helps to remove congestion from the roads.
