A proposal for Transport for London (TfL) to install new bus shelters across the borough replacing those removed in 2021, has been approved by Cabinet.
It has been a top priority for me and the proposal will see TfL provide, install, maintain, and clean the new bus shelters across Croydon. I promised I would resolve this issue for our residents and get the much-needed bus shelters back on the streets of Croydon and I have done exactly that. Unfortunately, it has taken longer than I would have liked owing to contractual consideration.
The previous Labour Council, which awarded the contract to Valo, massively let our residents down, leaving them without shelters for the past four years. We will continue to pursue all options, including taking legal action against Valo, to recover losses.
This partnership with TfL, who have the expertise in this area, will make sure the bus shelters are returned to our streets in a much speedier fashion.
