Bus shelters in the borough of Croydon
Dear Croydon Borough Council,
It was confirmed at a council scrutiny meeting in July 2024 that Transport for London would be installing new bus shelters around the borough of Croydon, replacing many of those which were removed when Croydon Council entered into its business agreement with Valo Smart Cities.
In total, 185 bus shelters were removed in 2021.
The scrutiny committee was told that TfL would be providing 50 fewer bus shelters than had been removed.
1, Please provide a list of the locations where TfL will be installing new bus shelters.
2, Please provide a list of the locations which will not be having a replacement bus shelter installed.
Yours faithfully,
