The opening is being pushed back till later in November after the operators and Spirit of Sittingbourne agreed that there are further improvements to be made to the area before opening.

The area was previously planned to open on Monday November 4, but final changes will now take place in order to ensure the area can open without issues.

All parties, including the operators, contractors and Spirit of Sittingbourne partners, and working to ensure the area meets the needs of the local community.

The revised opening date is yet to be finalised and will be revealed in due course.

While we appreciate the delay may be disappointing to some local residents, the decision was taken in order to ensure the bus area opens without issue.

We will be communicating the final opening date as soon as we have it finalised in the coming weeks.
