Today I experienced the bus not actually stopping at this bus stop, as the bus driver said “I couldn’t see the bus stop sign” The pictures attached clearly show that the bus stop sign is not visible. This surely is a matter that again needs urgent attention when clearly the bus drivers can’t see the stops they need to stop at! Bedford Road overgrown vegetation is a disgrace to the town and a danger to pedestrian’s.
