Appeal to fix InterCity issues

-

“It seems that the original bus station was abandoned by the council for whatever reason, and the temporary station is not fit for purpose, which leaves us with the option of a new permanent bus station outside the library. This provides ample room for both buses to park at the same time, and as they are only there for a short time will do little to disrupt the normal traffic flow.

“I understand that is the preferred option for InterCity, as it is for us. It is central, offers nearby carparking for people wishing to catch the bus, and is also close to the informatio­n centre.

“Given all these things it is very difficult to understand how a simple issue such as this could not have been dealt with in a businessli­ke manner and resolved long before now.”

Mr Perry asked Carter and King to turn their attention to dealing with the issue as quickly as possible, Mr Carter said the issue was under review.
