Lichfield's Wandering Bus Station

Paul Ray and LD councillors with concerned residents at the existing bus facility

What is happening with the bus station?

Cllr Paul Ray, leader of the Lib Dem councillors on Lichfield District Council, has expressed real concern that still no decision has been made about where the bus station is going in central Lichfield once the Birmingham Road Site has been developed.

“The Lichfield Lib Dem councillors are regularly monitoring the plans for Birmingham Road Site development. The current plans do not involve a bus station on the main site and residents are concerned and so are contacting us to ask what is happening about the bus station.

It is frustrating to report that there is no solution yet and we do urgently need a proper solution. We are listening to residents and stepping up pressure on Lichfield District Council and Staffordshire County Council to sort this out.

And we have stressed that Lichfield District Council needs to be open minded about the  location of the bus station including it being on the main Birmingham Road Site which is not currently proposed.

We do hope that a proper and workable solution can be found soon.”
