Bus Shelter Successes

Last Friday 9th November Cllrs Roger Symonds and Cherry Beath met a council transport officer at the new bus stop at Hadley Arms. It was agreed with the officer that there is a need for a bus shelter at this location and that one would be provided. The shelter will be the same type of enclosed shelter as at the MoD bus stop and it will be erected at the bottom of the bank just below the bus stop. We don't yet have a date for the shelter, but we have expressed the view that it is urgently needed because of the exposed position of the bus stop.

This success follows the petition signed by almost 100 people from Trinity Road and compiled by Maureen Traynor and Helen Tysoe. When Combe Road is re-opened (probable date April 2008) buses will go one way through Combe Down village and return to the city via North Road.

The bus shelter at Priory Close has been repainted and a litter bin installed. We still intend to press for this shelter to be replaced with a more modern shelter, but getting it painted has smartened it up. It is no longer the eyesore that it has been for years.
