Somerset Council is working in partnership with operator First West of England to make some urgent repairs to the bus station in Wells.

Work starts on Monday 17 November to repair the stands around bus bays to ensure the safety of passengers and drivers.

The repairs are being done in 2 phases over a week and the Council’s contractor is working to ensure minimal disruption to service.

Buses will be operating as normal throughout.

Somerset Council’s Lead Member for Transport and Waste Services, Councillor Richard Wilkins, said:

The team will do their best to get the work completed as quickly and efficiently as possible – this is important work to ensure the bus station is safe for passengers and operating staff.

We are extremely grateful to people for their support and understanding while this work is done.
