Residents Invited To View Plans For Motherwell Station Interchange

Construction News Image
Residents are being invited to view plans to develop a new transport interchange at Motherwell rail station.

A drop-in event displaying proposals for the scheme will be take place at Motherwell Library from Thursday, 14 June until Thursday, 21 June.

Plans include creating a new high-quality bus, train and bike transport interchange in front of the existing railway station. Up to £3.5 million of funding was approved to be used for the project from the Glasgow City Region City Deal.

Cllr Allan Graham said: "Our plans for improving transport facilities around Motherwell rail station include an expanded bus facility on Muir Street, new arrangements for taxis, car drop-offs and disabled parking, pedestrian and cycle network improvements, expansion of the park and ride at Farm Street and additional parking at Pollock Street car park.

"The council and Scotrail Alliance are looking for feedback from businesses and people who use the station, the nearby parking and public transport in and around Motherwell on how these ideas will work and if there are any further improvements we could make.

"I would ask people to take some time to look at the plans in the library or online. This is a major development for Motherwell and the wider area so it's important we get the views of people who do business and use the local transport network."

Peter O'Connell, Head of Stations and Retail Development at ScotRail Alliance, said: "We recognise the need for investment at Motherwell as it's an important rail hub and interchange station.

"This new transport hub opens up a wealth of possibilities for Motherwell, creating more options and better connections for our customers; for business and leisure travel.

"Once complete, the relationship between the station and Motherwell town centre will be completely transformed - all part of our plans to build the best railway Scotland has ever had."
