Arle Court Transport Hub (ACTH) Civil enabling works

The Arle Court Transport Hub Civil enabling works scheme will provide realigned parking bays totalling 287 spaces on the west end of the existing park & ride, as well as a new temporary bus stop & turning circle to accommodate bus movements. The Scheme will also widen Grovefield Way in order to provide a right turn lane into the car park, and drainage improvements will also be implemented within the existing car park, including the extension of an existing attenuation pond. The above works will deliver improvements to the existing western carpark area, access to Grovefield Way and realignment of Grovefield Way, to enable this western area of the carpark to continue to function as a park and ride facility whilst the eastern area is decommissioned as part of the wider proposed works to the Arle Court Park and Ride facility.
