Under the proposals – which already have outline planning permission – the western side of the Bus Station is to be turned into an urban park.

The new public area will have trees, benches and lead into the Youth Zone at the northern end of it.

Buses will use only the eastern side of the Bus Station for arrive and depart under the new layout.

They said it would help prevent anti-social behaviour and provide ‘a more balanced landscaping scheme’.
