Work is set to start on a new transport hub for a village in January to make it more welcoming and easy to use.

Construction is due to be finished in March on the hub at Pill, near Bristol, and in North Somerset.

There will be new bus shelters put in place on Heywood Road and the precinct will get a larger one, with real-time travel information screens, with work including enhancements to the precinct, such as new paving and planting.

North Somerset Council said this was part of a wider project to improve transport in the area, including larger hubs in the towns and a new railway station in Pill.

It is due to be fully funded by the government through the Bus Service Improvement Plan.

There are several small hubs being created in North Somerset. There is already a new hub at Weston Hospital.

Councillor Hugh Malyan, cabinet member for highways and transport at North Somerset Council, said: "The new transport hub in Pill is about making everyday journeys better for local people.

"By improving waiting areas, accessibility and connections, we're helping residents feel more confident using public transport and creating a more welcoming space at the heart of the community."

The council has worked with Alliance Homes on plans to improve Pill's precinct, as the company owns it. Footways and a new crossing will go in too, as well as new bollards, which can drop-down on market days.
