🚍 Oops! When a bus stop shows up right at the end of your driveway, it’s more than just a surprise! That’s exactly what happened to Christopher Harris and Michelle Smith from Beddau. Imagine coming home only to find a bus stop blocking your drive – talk about inconvenient!
🚌 Christopher and Michelle were initially told the stop would be positioned further up the road. But instead, it ended up smack dab in front of their home. To make matters worse, the stop extended across a dropped kerb and into their hedge, leading to parked buses and groups of school kids gathering outside their gate every day.
😡 Frustrated, Christopher had a polite word with one of the bus drivers, who agreed the placement made no sense. Christopher even threatened to block the bus stop if this blunder continued!
🙌 The good news? The local council finally admitted the error, apologised, and promised to restore the area to how it was before – complete with parking bays and traffic bollards.
📝 It’s great to see common sense winning the day. Councils, please take note of consultation standards and let’s avoid any more driveway dramas!
Do you think this couple’s frustrations were understandable, or should they have known about the plans? Let us know your thoughts below! 💬
