Millstream coach park in Salisbury to close for four months

Millstream coach park in Salisbury is to close from 2 January 2024 for four months to enable remodelling and improvement work, Wiltshire County Council (WCC) has advised.

Once that is completed and the facility reopens, there will be six coach bays on the site for dropping off and picking up, and 10 further coach parking spaces in the adjacent central car park for layover periods. A diagram shows that the existing area at Millstream will be improved to include a welcome area and a bridge over the River Avon to the car park.

While Millstream is closed, four free, temporary coach parking bays will replace existing car provision on Exeter Street north of Carmelite Way. Existing coach drop off space on St John’s Street near the cathedral will continue to operate during the closure.

Those locations will be the only places in Salisbury city centre where coaches will be able to pick up and drop off passengers. WCC says that coach drivers should not attempt to use any bus stops for that purpose, as civil enforcement officers have been instructed to act in such instances.

The St John’s Street coach bays have a 10-minute maximum stay. After use, coaches will need to then move to the Exeter Street parking bays or the Britford park-and-ride site off the A338 to the south of the city.

WCC notes that to access Exeter Street and St John’s Street, coaches should use the A36 ring road to approach from the south along Exeter Street. It adds that when leaving St John’s Street, drivers should turn right into Ivy Street and right again into Brown Street, staying to the left to rejoin Exeter Street and Churchill Way. The city centre should be avoided.

At Britford park-and-ride, drivers should go to the right of the building and park in one of the marked coach bays there. The site is open 24 hours and toilets are available during the daytime except Sundays. Bus route PR9 runs to and from Salisbury city centre around every 30 minutes between 0800-1830hrs, and a convenience store is nearby.

Further details of coach provision in Salisbury while Millstream coach park is closed will be available soon on the Connecting Wiltshire website. Operators in need of additional information should contact WCC by email or call 01225 718080.

andy burnham tfgm £15.6 billion (1) The funding announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves today (4 June) has been allocated to several combined mayoral authorities to use on rail, tram, road and bus infrastructure. Transport for Greater Manchester revealed today that part of the £2.5 billion it will receive will go towards making the Bee Network fully battery-electric by 2030. An as-yet undecided portion of that will support a planned investment in 1,000 new zero-emission buses over that period, the mayoral authority said. That is part of plans to build the UK's "first fully integrated, zero-emission public transport system", with trams and trains also set to benefit. Liverpool City Region's already announced BRT system is among the projects to which its £1.6 billion will be allocated. Under those plans - due for realisation by 2028 - a high-speed network will be served by articulated buses which are modelled on the 'Glider' in Belfast. It is due to link Liverpool city centre with John Lennon Airport, and Liverpool FC and Everton FC's respective stadia along three routes. Although the model of bus has not been confirmed, a Van Hool Exqui.City on loan from Belfast was last year used as a demonstrator. That 18m vehicle can accommodate around 30% more passengers than a typical bus and has three sets of double doors. The funding will also go towards buses elsewhere in the city as the region heads towards franchising services by 2027. Liverpool Mayor Steve Rotheram with a 'Glider' which was on loan from Belfast last year - an example of the sort of bus which could serve the new BRT Bus services in the East Midlands region will be boosted by the funding, thanks to the £2 billion handed to it today by the government. Some of that allocation will be used for a rapid transit network on the Trent Arc between Nottingham and Derby. Between the two cities, the Freeport, Infinity Park Investment Zone and Ratcliffe-on-Soar will also benefit from the improved bus services. South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority's newly announced commitment towards bus franchising has been boosted by £350 million in funding as part of that region's allocation. The funding for West Yorkshire will help build new bus stations in Bradford and Wakefield. Likewise, the Tees Valley Mayoral Authority will put its sum towards a new £15 million bus station in Middlesbrough. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander says: "Today marks a watershed moment on our journey to improving transport across the North and Midlands – opening up access to jobs, growing the economy and driving up quality of life as we deliver our Plan for Change. "For too long, people in the North and Midlands have been locked out of the investment they deserve. With £15.6bn of government investment, we’re giving local leaders the means to drive cities, towns and communities forward, investing in Britain’s renewal so you and your family are better off."
