Parish Council Bus Shelter Grant Scheme

Please note this grant stream is currently closed but is expected to reopen in the near future.

About the grant: Hampshire County Council (HCC) has been allocated funding through the Department for Transport’s Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) 2025/26 Bus Grant. A portion of this funding has been designated to contribute towards the costs of replacing or refurbishing bus shelter(s) for eligible Parish Councils.

The project aims to improve engagement with public transport by improving infrastructure on the local and commercial bus network. The improvement of parish council-owned bus shelter infrastructure will improve awareness of these services by making them more visible to existing and potential passengers with more attractive, improved shelters for waiting in. This, along with an improved passenger experience, aims to increase overall patronage.

The Parish Council Bus Shelter Grant stream helps Parish Councils to improve an existing bus shelter by providing funding for refurbishment of an existing bus shelter or the purchase and installation of a new bus shelter.
Who can apply: Parish Councils that own and maintain existing bus shelters. Any application made is on the understanding that you will be responsible for owning and maintaining this new asset going forward.
