WORK on a £2.5m revamp of Aberystwyth’s bus and train stations is due to start on Monday. The scheme, which is seen as a key part of the Aberystwyth Strategic Regeneration Area programme, is aimed at improving pedestrian access in the area and will see the bus station layout altered.
Plans for the scheme have been welcomed by local councillors, and a Welsh Government spokesman said work on the scheme is now expected to begin on Monday.
The £2.5m funding for the revamp has been secured from the Welsh Government’s Regeneration Area, Sustainable Travel Centres and the Regional Transport Plan projects.
A Welsh Government spokesman said: “As part of the Regeneration Area strategy for Aberystwyth the improvements will ensure that residents and visitors will have a more accessible area around the stations
and the scheme will provide an improved gateway to the town centre itself.”
The work on the transport scheme is scheduled to run until July 2012.
The Welsh Government has also announced that it is providing funding of £200,000 for improvements at Aberystwyth’s promenade with a consultation starting on 6 December asking residents what they want to
see happen on the prom."
