Northern Quarter's Stevenson Square prepares for return of buses TOMORROW

Buses will return to one of Manchester's most popular city squares tomorrow. Stevenson Square, in the Northern Quarter, has been pedestrianised for more than two years.

The area has become a popular outdoor space for the square's bars, with a vibrant atmosphere during the warmer months. It was initially closed off to traffic to encourage more walking and cycling in the area during the Covid pandemic.

But now, the site has been prepared for the return of buses from December 30. It's understood that the move follows a disagreement between bus firms and Manchester Council, which had wanted to keep the square fully pedestrianised.
