Merseytravel commits to
Kirkby Bus Station improvements
RESIDENTS in Kirkby will soon benefit
from a new bus station after Merseytravel identified funds that will allow the
construction to go ahead despite the planned retail development being delayed
after Tesco withdrew their plans.
The new station will cost in the region of £1.5m and will see the current
station that has been in place for over 20 years replaced with a new modern
facility.
The new facilities will include:-
► Bus shelters offering better protection for passengers.
► Better lighting providing a safer environment.
► Improved passenger information and signage.
► Provisions for CCTV and Real time Information screens.
► Full road resurfacing for smoother journeys and better drainage.
The designs are currently being finalised and once completed, will go out to
tender. A contract will be awarded in the autumn with the project due to be
completed by March 2016.
Cllr Mal Sharp, Merseytravel Committee member representing Knowsley said:- "We are pleased to be able to confirm the go ahead for the Kirkby Bus Station
scheme despite the recent disappointing news regarding the supermarket
development. We have remained committed to this project as it will play a
vital role in the regeneration of the area as well as improving the experience
for public transport users."
Knowsley Council's Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Economy and Skills, Cllr
Dave Lonergan, said:- "I'm delighted that our partners at Merseytravel are
ready to deliver this superb new modern facility for the people of Kirkby.
This is a clear indication of our determination to push ahead with our plans to
regenerate Kirkby Town Centre and we are making excellent progress in our
efforts to identify a developer to deliver a new, alternative retail
development."
Why is Everton's holding
baby showers...?
THE baby blues have taken on a whole
new meaning at one of the UK's leading sports grounds.
As well as being home to:- 'Everton Football Club'; known to fans as:-
'The Blues' and 'Goodison Park' is 1 of Merseyside's premier conference and event venues.
However, the stadium is now also welcoming football mad mums-to-be, keen to hold
their baby shower within sight of the hallowed turf.
Baby showers are a booming trend, giving friends and family the chance to pamper
the expectant mum and hand over gifts for both her and the baby.
Now, Sodexo Prestige Venues and Events, which manages corporate and leisure events
at the stadium, has put together a special Baby Shower programme of tea and
treats.
Parties can enjoy exclusive use of 1 of 8 Goodison Park suites, for an
afternoon tea of carefully crafted sandwiches, savouries, cakes and cream
scones, with coffee, tea and a celebratory glass of Champagne.
They then have full use of their suite for exchanging gifts, indulging in some
pre-baby pampering or enjoying some live entertainment.
Jacqui Miller, sales and marketing manager of Sodexo Prestige Venues & Events,
which manages conferences and events at the stadium, said:- "The baby
shower craze has really taken off and Goodison Park lends itself beautifully to
this sort of event. Along with light, pretty and spacious suites, we have
plenty of free parking and our events team can arrange all manner of activities,
from pampering massages and manicures, to magicians and musicians."
