00:00Plans have been submitted for what is being described as a depot of the future for bus
00:05services in Stockton. Stagecoach Northeast has applied for permission to replace its existing
00:12depot off Portrack Lane and Church Road. The company says the current buildings are worn,
00:18dated and too large to retain, requiring costly modification. Proposals include a smaller,
00:24efficient depot, a three-story office and upgraded staff facilities. Developers say the scheme supports
00:30electric buses, protects jobs and could improve reliability for passengers while council planners
00:37consider the application in line with policy and consult statutory bodies before any decision is
00:43formally issued locally.
