The Oddown Bus Lane saga continues...

“Conservative Council spends £1million on a 700 yard bus lane... and they can't even get the poles round the right way!” said Lib Dem Parliamentary hopeful Gail Coleshill.

Lib Dems have discovered another boob with the Odd Down bus lane which cost nearly a £1million. They have found that the light reflective poles are the wrong way round.

Gail Coleshill said:

“Not only are the Tories poles apart from local residents views on how their money should be spent but they have got the light reflective poles the wrong way round.”

Resident Louise Bray was passing one day and drew attention to the fault. She commented:

“I was thinking that the bus lane could easily be mistaken for a third lane and cause accidents – and then I noticed that the light reflective poles which should have the red side pointing towards the oncoming traffic actually didn’t!”

Cllr Nathan Hartley (Lib Dem, Peasedown) has contacted Highways managers asking them to correct the fault.
