History

In 2016, the council announced the Moor Street Gateway Project, which included the redevelopment of the bus station.[2] There were proposals to build multistorey student accommodation above the rebuilt bus station, but these proposals were dropped in 2019.[3] In July 2021, a planning application was submitted for the development of the bus station.[4]

The rebuilt bus station opened on 13 March 2023.[5][6]
