Have your say on proposed Merrywalks revamp

Gloucestershire County Council is inviting residents to give their views on proposed improvements to Merrywalks transport hub in Stroud.

The project aims to transform the hub into a transport interchange that is user-friendly, accessible and inviting for people to use.

The proposed improvements include new, high quality bus shelters, improved displays showing ‘real time passenger information’, lighting improvements, CCTV and a better waiting environment.

Other options to improve and expand the hub include secure cycle storage, parcel collection and a bike repair station. The public are being invited to comment on what they would like to see at the hub and can submit additional ideas.

The project is being funded with £200,000 from Gloucestershire County Council, £98,000 from Stroud District Council through its Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) funding for 2024/25, and £14,000 from Stroud Town Council.

The county council is inviting people to give their views by taking part in a survey and adding comments to an interactive map and ideas board. The engagement runs until Monday 9 September.
