The future of the former bus station site is set to be decided by the council’s cabinet committee later this week. The Brunel Way site was opened in May 2011 as part of the £450m Heart of Slough regeneration programme and housed a 70-metre aluminium structure that included a shop and waiting area. A fire in October 2022 caused severe structural damage, and the bus station site has remained derelict ever since. Rebuilding the former bus station to its original state is estimated to cost more than £14 million, which is far greater than the insurance payout received. The council aspires to provide a new bus interchange within the town centre area, which aligns with the redevelopment of the High Street and former TVU site.
