A £1.25 million refurbishment of a town bus station used by 96,000 passengers every year has been agreed.

The overhaul of Diss bus station will see the site expanded, new entrance and exits created and improved facilities for people using the facility.

Councillors on South Norfolk Council say the transformation will mean vehicles will no longer have to reverse onto Park Road at busy times of the day.

The authority purchased land adjoining the site in 2024.

At a meeting on Monday, it was agreed to spend £1.25m on the scheme.

Graham Minshull, Conservative councillor for Diss, said: “This is great news for the town.

“It will be a real benefit to see it finally replaced. It will also solve the problem of buses having to reverse onto or off Park Road.

“It’s fantastic news for the town, so thank you to everyone involved.”

A full planning application is expected to be submitted later this year.
