Feasibility study – transport hub at Cosham

Transport hubs create more seamless journey experiences, offering a variety of facilities in the area, such as delivery lockers and toilets, around existing stations and bus terminals. They also provide more options for continuing journeys with electric vehicle charge points and bike or e-scooter hire. Developing hubs that are tailored to the location has proven successful in a variety of locations, resulting in increased accessibility while also contributing to a more sustainable transport system and greener environment.

The team developing the feasibility study has already sought views from key stakeholders including ward councillors, interest groups and operators. This week and early next week a team of council officers will be in Cosham speaking to passers-by and local businesses to gain a better understanding of how people travel to and from the area at the moment, as well as how this could be improved.

The feasibility study will be submitted to National Highways for consideration, mid-December, with the aim of seeking funding to take this activity to the next phase. The next step would be the development of design concepts and city-wide engagement activity to understand peoples views on the improvements being proposed.
