ST HELENS Council has offered residents a fresh glimpse behind the scenes at the borough's long-awaited new bus station as the £35 million scheme moves into its next phase.

People passing along Corporation Street may have noticed some of the site hoardings have been replaced with fencing, giving a clearer view of progress on the development.

The council says internal fit-out work is now underway inside the new facility, while work is due to start this week on replacing kerbs and footways between the new bus stands and existing businesses and properties on Corporation Street.

The Transport Interchange is one of the biggest regeneration projects currently taking shape in the town centre and is being funded through £32m from the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority, alongside £3.25m from the Government's Towns Fund.

Once complete, the new interchange will feature 11 bus stands, an increase from the previous nine, spread across two fully enclosed and temperature-controlled concourses.

Passengers will also benefit from larger waiting areas, a new travel centre and improved accessibility facilities.

In an update, the council said it was aware residents were keen to know how work was progressing and wanted to provide a "peek behind the scenes" at the development.

The project is expected to play a key role in wider plans to regenerate St Helens town centre, improving public transport links and creating a modern gateway into the borough.

The latest update comes as construction activity remains visible across Corporation Street, with work continuing both inside and around the new building ahead of its eventual opening.
